I have a namesake who teaches statistics in an Australian university, and has a weekly column in a Melbourne magazine.

Last week:

‘Proportion of couples [presumably in Australia… my words] marrying in 2004 who lived together before the wedding: 75 per cent; in the 1970s: 16 per cent.’ John S. Croucher, Professor of statistics, Macquarie University.
