This is just not true for the UK. Yes, we have had some high losses
recently - 30% for 2007-8 and 15% (is that 'high'?) for 2008-9, but to
describe those as 'record numbers' is simply misleading - there have been
very much higher losses in the past. Of course, we now have journalists
looking for stories...
