Actually, my question to Phil obviously is off topic, but I'm curious just
the same. I'm sure the percent is a lot lower than the US.
More on topic: I've only been to 2 Share meetings. San Franscisco in 2003
and Long Beach in 2004. In San Francisco, the convention center seemed to
be located very close to a very seedy part of the city. There were people
begging everywhere. When I would walk back the 3 blocks to my hotel at
10:00 P.M. a couple evenings, there were young able bodied men rolling out
their sleeping bags on the side walk. Long Beach was much better, except
for the abundant amount of rain.

Eric,
I leave Phil to provide the precise figure - although the question doesn't
really follow on from his post.
The percentage isn't anything like high enough if the recent Home Office
scandals are anything to go by. One heavyweight has just left the ring on
his back and the bantamweight who's just entered has suffered some
bruising
blows already.
The latest scandal is a large number of people who are recorded as having
been in jail but are quite innocent - which, I guess is some sort of
compensation.
Sorry - I checked - that was last week. Today it's "absconding from open
prisons" - what do you expect?
Let me try and put the discussion back "on-topic". The only SHARE meeting
I've attended - presented at - was in Nice, France, the heart of the Côte
d'Azur, "a sunny place for shady people" as Somerset Maugham called it.
