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 husband's parents and mine were married on the same exact date - 27th September 1937, although we never thought to check on the time! My father was in the RAF so my mother went out to Malta to marry him. Both families celebrated the Golden Wedding together at a venue which was roughly half way between Luton and Loughton, Essex, at a lovely hotel in St Albans, near the park. My parents thoroughly enjoyed the day, but my husband's mother was physically sick because of the excitement. Chris's parents reached their Diamond Anniversary, but my father, sadly, died of cancer before this.
