Great guys....
I've taken all your comments onboard and hope you've managed to get my comments off your chest, but originally I was talking in regard to BA crews being over the limit.....I would welcome responses to my comments regarding that.

Hubbly... Get your facts straight
Dumb comments. Yip you where talking about BA crew being over the limit and quickly moved on to point out that Finns have a serious alcohol problem. Now this is not the case. Instead of getting into a futile argument I'll let simple numbers do the job.
Litres of alcohol consumed per capita in 100 % alcohol per country during years 1990 and 2001.
Republic of Ireland 7,6 10,8
Portugal 12,9 10,6
France 12,6 10,5
Spain 10,8 10,5
Germany 10,6 10,4
Denmark 9,7 9,5
Austria 10,4 9,2
UK 7,7 8,5
Finland 7,7 7,4
Belgium 9,9 8,2
Netherlands 8,1 8,1
Italy 9,2 7,6
USA 7,4 6,7
Japan 6,5 6,5
Sweden 5,5 4,9
Norway 4,1 4,4
Iceland 3,9 3,9
As you can see UK consumption is higher than that of Finland. Additionally UK consumtion has seen one of the highest increases of any EU country since 2001. Alcohol related crimes have increased drastically and so have related health problems.

but graphs are better ( using the above data )....
Nb. I've recently had the pleasure of attending Iceland's 'Culture Night' - along with ten's of thousands of Icelandic folk ( it's a hugely popular event ) - one which according to the stats suggest they all should be members of the 'temperance society', but wherein the reality is that a bigger bunch of collective p!ss heads it'd be hard to find ( it was good fun though
); and so perhaps it might pay to remember that old adage, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics !".
