Statistics
I was listening to a local radio station this morning, they have got a competition running in which you can win a car. You have to pick up an application form from one of the Shell garages over here. They then started to read out every Shell garage you could pick one up from. They mentioned over 20 in all. I couldn't believe it, so I decided to look into how many Garages in total there are in Jersey. (Because i'm sad like that) There are 52 of the things! I just cannot believe there are soo many on an Island which is 9 x 5 miles in size. That's 1.15 Garages in every square mile of Jersey. No excuse if you run out of petrol then! It got me started on other Stats as well. Did you know there are 136 restaurants over here? Is there really enough space for all of them? There are 92 pubs (Thank God) and I drink in just one 99% of the time! Boring me. Well actually it's not really, 'cos at least I can have a drink there and not get done for D.I.C (D.U.I). There are 33 Supermarkets. 12 Garden Centres. 48 Banks. The list goes on. It's quite amazing what you can fit on such a small Island really. Right I will stop blabbing and get back to doing some work, along with the other 38 Architects offices over here. Well someone has to design all those Restaurants!Posted by Markiss at March 15, 2005 2:31 PM
