It is indeed low. As is the proportion of kids wearing
helmets overall. The two proportions are, as far as I can
tell, similar.

Whatever ... I had a strange dream last night. I was
discussing BHIT with a blob-like creature.

If it was a calm and rational discussion, then the blob
couldn't have been a member of BHIT! I guess you were
explaining their irrationality to it?

chat about UPVC double glazing with my nextdoor
neighbour but one.

AFAIR, the blob (and the neighbour) were both quite rational
so obviously neither was a member of BHIT.
