understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
We had a family day out to Bath about 15 years ago. My son and I had tickets to watch Bath play Saracens and while we were at the game my wife and my daughter toured the Roman baths and then went to look round the abbey. To their surprise they ran into the Frenchman who had been the overseas student recruited to help my year with our conversational French at school 15 years before. My parents and I had visited him at his parents house in Paris and he had become a family friend.
He and his wife were by now both teaching English in Paris and were visiting Bath with a school party. He recognised my wife having met her once at my parents but unfortunately his tight schedule meant that he had left Bath before we got back from the Rugby.
