We3 all knew that Experian's credit score is/was a ficticious number - does this also mean that National Numeracy's score is also ficticious and can also be safely ignored?
Is that the correlation between the two?0 -

- the moistness of dihydrogen monoxide,
- the religious affiliation of the Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, or
- the defecation habits of ursine mammals.Conjugating the verb 'to be":
-o I am humble -o You are attention seeking -o She is Nadine Dorries0
