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 brother Horace Dale (RAF) of 83 Heathcote Road, Miles Green, Stoke on Trent, was walking down a street in Naples in 1943 when he happened to meet Jack Cross (Navy) who lived at ?? Heathcote Road. While the were chatting along came Frank Pointon (Army) - the three different services - who lived at ?? Heathcote Road. A photograph was taken and it it is a treasured memory of the amazing coincidence - the three houses are less than 25 yards from each another! I have the photograph that was taken if you wish to see it. Dennis Dale.
