10,000

"10,000 houses continue to be built every year in flood risk areas," BBC Radio 4 "Today".
What a coincidence!
10,000 men a year use marriage to live in the UK. (The Government's official figure in 1979, when it broke its promise to close this loophole.)
So everybody knows how to stop the foolish activity of building in flood risk areas.

10,000 Greeks marched into Persian territory in 401 BC. An exciting account is told by Xenophon in "The Persian Expedition" (or "Anabasis"). It pays to read Herodotus and Thucydides first.
