    You guys still using flash data when it's been repeatedly shown as innacurate.

    I guess some will just never learn.

    Some schoolin' does appear to be required.
    Oh, by the way, that "noisy" 28 day flash up to 25 sept 2010:-
    SCOTLAND £159017

    ROS figures for September:-
    SCOTLAND £159035.

    It turns out that the 28 day figures uses EXACTLY the same methodology.

    And if its noisy (which I accept it is) then one would want to be very careful about getting too excited about transitory "peaks".

    Wouldn't one Hamish? :rotfl:

    What's the saying about a stopped clock being right twice a day?

    It could be coincidental as all previous comparisons were way out of mark, or it could be that the Sept figure you use was from near the end of the month and hence why it's close

    Theres no "could be" about it Einstein. EXACT SAME METHODOLOGIES. Thats exactly why they tie up near the end of the month.


    I find it more interesting that you suddenly find it interesting.
    Prices were also tanking a year ago. Without any kind of context or analysis, this comparison is as much use as a one legged man at a butt kicking contest. :j

    So you would agree that the next latest 28 day flash data (due tomorrow / next day) will likely be hugely erroneous come the end of the month.

    I didn't say I found it interesting. I said you may find it interesting.

    P.S. On the prices taking a tanking, let me refresh your memory on the ROSEA results

    Very possibly. It has been noted how noisy the 28 day rolling figures are.

    But as its EXACTLY THE SAME METHODOLOGY,
    one would have to ponder the repercussions of the same.
    Y'now, before one were to start mouthing off about new peaks and such.
    :D
    I didn't say I found it interesting. I said you may find it interesting.

    Well you thought wrong.:rotfl:
