Yep and then you have all the suppliers , drinks wholesalers etc. Redundancy back in September and the vast amount of my experience and contacts involves trade sales to the U.K. On-trade (pubs, restaurants etc) . Personally , I have very little chance of getting back into this industry for the foreseeable. Indeed , there is currently no industry of note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a physics teacher telling me very early on at school that percentages above 100 are mathematically nonsensical. He wasn't quite strictly right about that - you can use percentages above 100, but I understand what he was getting at. It's apt to mislead and can be innumerate and is often used for the purpose of misrepresenting something.

Ergo Storm Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Regarding the article above, it says 163% jump in redundancies. I understand why it's expressed in this way, but to me this encourages innumeracy - especially when, as here, it's expressed confusingly in the article as both an increase on the n figure and also an increase of the n figure. I think they mean the latter, so that the number of redundancies in 2020 is 163% of the 2019 total (i.e. a decimal factor of 1.63 of the total in 2019), but somebody could equally read it as a 163% increase on 2019, which is completely different. For me, it would be mathematically clearer if it was expressed as a percentage increase with raw figures included, so that you could work it out for yourself to verify it. For instance, if redundancies in Year 1 were 100,000 and in Year 2 were 150,000, this journalist would say that Year 2 has had a 150% rise/increase in redundancies, whereas I would say that is a 50% increase (i.e. 50,000/100,000x100).

So, that means, schools won't be going back in February, unless everyone is vaccinated. Stay at home and only leave for an essential purpose, ie for caring responsibilities or essential shopping Work from home unless it really is not possible Businesses must look at moving as much as possible to being done from home If you are shielding and you cannot work from home, it is advised that you do not work at all Frequency of outdoor exercise is not being limited However, the rule on outdoor gatherings changes from six people to a maximum of two people from two households. Children under 11 do not count If you live in a Level 4 area you cannot leave home unless it is essential. No one is allowed to travel into or out of Scotland unless it is for an essential purpose Communal worship cannot take place but 20 people can attend a funeral and five can attend a wedding Edited January 4, 2021 by Velma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the stuff. I am sure I read somewhere that it causes infertility, cancer and other nasties. I am not sure it will wash if I say to school I don't want my kids using it.

Sit down, Waldo Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 A glance online tells me around 500k people die in the UK each year. Forgive the rounded figures & quick man maths, but if the population's around 70m & life expectancy is 70-odd, this figure doesn't seem quite right. Am I missing something?
