The cornish?

Actually, I think Katie should be ashamed of her accuracy with the bike song. Yes, it is indeed a fact that there are 9 million bicycles in Beijing but the Chinese authorities believed in 2002 that the number of bicycles in Beijing would be greater than 10 million by the end of that year - a good 2 years before the Melua track. It is indeed a fact that you could go to Beijing and count 9 million individual bicycles but it fails to point out that the actual figure is in excess of that amount by at least 1 million. She could have just as easily said that there were 3 dwarves in Snow White. That is indeed a fact, but deliberately misleading as you aren’t allowed to use that term any more for short people who work in mines.

I think that she should perhaps not be relied on for accuracy. She was, of course, responsible for the line “This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been, Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen”. I doubt that she a) is a mental health professional and b) has the slightest idea what the word “crazy” means. I think she may have confused it with the term “fake ID”
