Hmm! I think I just learned that you can't answer two comments without putting something else between. (So if this appears twice, my apologies).

Tom:
It really depends on where you are and how much background information you have - for e.g Saudi Arabia or Oklahoma, and how good the surveys have been but it varies between 1 in 5 and 1 in 15 (though I would ask that those who might have a better set of numbers to correct me, or refine these odds).
