Dear All,
The morning after the night before ...
however, as I returned from a trip to the Smoke yesterday on the Oxford Tube I
took to spotting how many vehicles were sporting an England
Flag.
I took two sets of sample data: one set
on the A40 and one set on the M40. I can exclusively
reveal (I am betting that no one else has been so sad as to carry out this
survey!) that on average
every 30th car driving towards London on the A40 on the stretch just after it has stopped being the M40 (!) was sporting an England flag
(sample size 29)
every 57th car driving towards London on the A40 on the stretch just after junction 8
was sporting an England flag (sample size
13)
In addition to preparing a spreadsheet
containing raw data and a histogram I also carried out a Chi Squared analysis
of my two sample sets and can further exclusively reveal that there is a significant difference between the two samples, meaning that there is less of
a propensity to appear patriotic near Oxford
than there is near London.
The spreadsheet is available for anyone
who wants it: just ask off list!
