Remember that French woman a few years back? she gave up smoking at 117
yrs old and died aged 120.

Nice try. How many are owned by kids?

Errm no. 3 on average.

Her name was Jeanne Calment and she lived untill the age of 122 not 120.
But she definitely smoked untill she was a 117 yrs old.

Makes a mockery of those that claim that passive smoking kills people.

I think its bullshit For there to be 23 million, ownership would have to
be 1 in 3. Between the four houses in my small row, there's 11 people.
There's only 2 bicycles.

I wonder how many are in active use. At least with cars you can count
the number with a tax disc/MOT.
