Cheers Billy, stats should be easy as it's just the 4 basic calculations +,-, * and /. It's the theory bit that bamboozles me. It is such a good tool so I may go and learn statistics. I do vaguely recall in Uni helping some social studies students to use SSP (I think thats what it was called) which is a stats package. I didn't have to know how to calculate stuff, just how to use a spreadsheet.

SPSS. Used to use it when I was at uni too!

Theoretical statistics can involve a bit more complicated maths, such as integration and differentiation but, yes, if you know a bit of algebra and can do some fairly basic arithmetic then you can calculate a decent level of statistics and probabilities.

Nothing wrong with a spreadsheet by the way. Best invention of the 20th century!

The figures are coming down across the area. Darlington, Stockton and Hartlepool will keep us in Tier 3 for the next two weeks though.

Looking at the figures in the Northern Echo, Stockton has a lower rate than Middlesbrough and it's decreasing, whereas it's going up in the Boro.

Thank Bear. Sobering figures. Out of interest, do you happen to know the figures of flu deaths compared to last year?
