Description
Local government funding: why everything depends on Wokingham. Inflation: who came up with the 1-3% target? Why? And why do we keep missing it? Age-adjusted earnings: how much should you be earning... if you're a 43-year-old man called David? Correlation or causation: Are you really more likely to give birth if you live near a mobile phone mast? And, finally, oracular Jack - our magic monkey - with his latest Ashes predictions.
