Father; Father-in-law

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.
My father worked all his life for a company that made industrial driers, based in Ilkley in West Yorkshire. When he died in 1983, he was the Sales Director. My father-in-law worked for many years for a firm making linoleum in Kirkaldy, Fife. My future husband and I met in London in 1991. When my husband told his father my name, it transpired that my father-in-law had met my father frequently in the course of business as he bought industrial driers from the company my father worked for. As my husband never met my father, this was a particularly lovely coincidence for my husband and I.
