You've let your precision wander....what would you do if only 4.67 people were shouting at you.

I would be very confused that you can have .67 of a person shouting at you.

The other 0.33 wasn't shouting at you. Simples.
It's not a regional thing, MDB, it's a Young Person thing. MatthewT is, by the standards of C+, a very young person. He likely watches TV and Hollywood films, where miscreants are always forced to 'the floor'.

I am still confused. How can someone have 33% of themself not shouting at you. The only thing I can think of is that they have a split personality and one of the person's arent shouting at you.
I am still confused.

I do watch a lot of crime/traffic police programes. I am not that young though. Its just what I thought was most commonly said in these situations.

As far as I can tell, it is......
That may be, but I have never heard anyone up here refer to it as the 'floor', even the young people, it just isn't said, so it is a NONregional thing here, ergo, it is regional!!

I'm confused, is the ladies lingerie dept still on the ground floor or not?
MDB if the 'perp' was laid on the pavement then would he not be on a man made surface above the actual ground and therefore could be said to be laid on the floor? Or should it be lain?

I've never heard anyone over here refer to it as 'the floor' either. For it to be a regional usage, we need someone in Matthew's area who is considerably older than him to admit to using that word instead of ground .....That may be, but I have never heard anyone up here refer to it as the 'floor', even the young people, it just isn't said, so it is a NONregional thing here, ergo, it is regional!!

It is a floor on the ground, so, err..... yes! ....... Or something.
I bloody knew some smartarse would point something like that out to me!
I actually was wondering how far I could stretch the definition anyway, as I was sort of making a generalisation/wingin it!

I've certainly heard people saying it in the past on the telly who were a lot older, but alas, I have no proof to hand of this, or in fact their motives for saying what they did
It is news to me that it isn't as common as it appears.
