"some 70% to 80% of UK plc business transactions are still based on Cobol"

What, exaclty, does that mean?

80% of transaction processing systems are COBOL?

80% of "UK plc businesses" use COBOL?

80% of business transactions "touch" at least one COBOL system somewhere 
along the line?

This could be interpretted so many different ways...

It burns. IT BURNS!! >_<

What sick, sick person thought that

   SUBTRACT 1 FROM Bottles GIVING Remaining-Bottles

is simpler than

   let b' = b-1

?!
