Maths lesson
A press release issued by Vauxhall Motors yesterday opened up with the following paragraph:
"A Vauxhall Motors commissioned survey, entitled, ‘Are we nearly there yet?’ revealed over 1 in 9 (93)% of 5-18 year olds are occupying themselves with a phone or tablet during long car journeys. However, traditional car games such as i-spy, car snooker and waving at other drivers, are not completely out the window. It seems the survival of the traditional car game has lasted the test of time despite the introduction of new technologies, with over 1 in 8 (87%) of parents encouraging children to play games not involving technology."
Methinks it is time for some PR person to go back to school and learn about percentages.
