Thank you Racer. Yes, that would make sense - it was a Scottish journalist who wrote it. I suppose the Christmas Grinch link was most likely a co-incidence then.
I got "Statistics Without Tears" and "How to Lie With Statistics" but by the time they came I'd lost interest in what I was doing. I still have that homeopathy article to finish, but I don't suppose it'll ever get done now.
