I'm pretty sure that Dave has actually got the original quote wrong and it had nothing to do with horses or bridges! It was bullsh*t building up in the Palace of Westminster. Either way, 87.3% of statistics are just made up on the spot anyway!

It is one of the basic tenets of their religion, so it is "imposed" on believers - that's pretty much what believing in an organised religion means (admittedly the Church of England are pretty lax about their rules provided you stop short of actually worshipping Satan, but the others all take...
