Happy "Yorkshire Day".

Interesting statistic: London, population 9 million, 27 breweries. Yorkshire, pop. 4.5 mill - 110 breweries

Lucky sod !! Another statistic London Lager drinkers 8.5M, Yorkshire Lager drinkers 15. OK I made that up but i may not be far wrong.

[Oggwyn Trench]

Shropshire population 290,000 , 16 breweries , thats one brewery per 18125 head of population , not bad

Yorkshire,1 brewery per approx every 41 square miles
London ,1 brewery per approx every 24 square miles
Don't really know what this means but Iv'e never run out of beer yet ,occasionally beer tokens though

Not one for statistics, but we're all a damn sight better off for breweries than we were 40 years ago:more breweries, more choice!.

I read somewhere that 97.2% of all statistics are made up.

Interesting. I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact that Yorkshire is pretty much full of Yorkshiremen (and women)?

I regard statistics much like a broken lampost to a drunken man, more use for leaning on than for any sort of illumination.

Isn't it strange how a simple topic can go off on a wild tangent.
