Menurut cerita, di kampung Alston di kawasan Cumbria, Inggris Raya yang dihuni oleh sekitar 1000 orang, perbandingan cowo jomblo dengan cewe jomblo adalah 10 banding 1! Belum lagi rataČ cowoČ itu punya lahan sendiri. Coba saja liat iklan mereka:
"Sick of putting up with boring, lazy, ugly, inconsiderate and poor men? Are you looking for some excitement in your life?
"If you answered yes to any of these questions then the town of Alston Moor is waiting for you ..."
"The average male in Alston is single, athletic, intelligent, well-groomed, an extremely good sense of humour, owns [his] own vehicle, and in many cases owns [his] own land and property as well. Compare this to the average male from your area and you will see why you were lucky to spot this notice."
