uk.rec.gardening turned up an estimated 148,000 posts of which 4,940
(earliest of which appears to be from March 2002)had the word allotment in
them.

So that's 3.33%.

err.. yes....
But how many of the posters about using old carpets as a muclh were
talking about allotments? (try that trick in a domestic garden and see
what happens!)

How many debates about raised beds were from people whose garden
happens to be remote from thier house?

I detect a class error in the methodology
