Re: [doc] even more interesting BTI

["Richard Hanlon" <rahanlon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interestingly, when I phoned up for the BTI, the woman initially said that 
she thought 6000 cars remaining was in fact too many to be "rare" - she 
thought the number was more like the 500 mark - and she was quite surprised 
when she tapped the details into her computer to find that the 5% did 
apply...

Perhaps we've all been getting away with it by mistake?
