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.

A life of Coincidences. 1964 When expecting my son I was married to a paratrooper who was in Barhein. I asked the CO'S wife if she could get my husband back as I had a dream that I was loosing my life blood. 11th June 1964 I had an emergency ciscerian and 9 pints of blood at Louise Margaret hos: Aldershot. After getting birth certificate as i was adopted I found a family of 6 brothers and 1 sister in 1998. On the cert: the registrars name was J**** my name was J**** at the time. My son had bought ** Gordon Rd Aldershot before I had my cert: it had Florence cottage on a plaque high up by the roof. That was my real mothers second name Daisy Florence. My 1st brothers name was Donald Robert James M*** Donald was the man I was still married to Donald J**** ( now deceased ) Robert is my daughters husbands second name. Christopher Robert. James is my sons second name Keith James. On marrying again I found that my husbands daughters name was Tanya who was married to a Keith which was also my sons name. My sister also has a daughter named Tanya. Divorce was inevitable I went to portugal to work and met a scot who I went back to live with in 2004. As I had lost a 3 bed house to a John in Sussex. I thought it strange that I should by a 3 bed house in Scotland from a man named big John. When decorating, on the bedroom wall in the back room was written Gorden loves Jenna that is my grand daughters name. Also Scott has a brother who has a daughter named Jenna they are both born in July 8th and 21st one year apart. these are only some of the weird things that have happened I hope that you find them interesting. I can veritfy most of this as I do have married certs. and divorce papers and of course birth cert: I did want to get the professors ideas on this not nessessarily for it to go on the tele but I might if it was selective.
