Shabby chic

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.
Watching 'Take me out' which I had deferred to the repeat 1 hr later because of another programme clashing, one of the girl's suggested the reason she had chosen not to date the guy was because he had cleaned up too well and she preferred 'shabby chic' which was an odd and not oft used term.
At the same time I was browsing ebay at the time and had selected 'vintage' items from the search options.
One of the related searches presented was 'shabby chic' which I had never before noticed as an ebay search option!
