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.
I work and live in the south west of England but myself and a colleague (originally from Scotland) were seconded to India. Whilst we were there, her parents came to visit. Her Dad - who I hadn't previously realised was English - had a familiar accent. It turned out he grew up in the same South East England town as my dad - they'd lived about 100m apart.
