Facebook - why?

Just had a look on the office for national statistics web site. I hope we can all agree they are reputable. They have 63% of the population using social media in 2016. The previous 89% was of Internet users. 

 

Thanks for that A.

As I said earlier, I am happy to wait until the club produces its source and until then I remain sat on the proverbial fence.

Or are you confirming the source of the 89% is the ONS?

Why should the club produce a source, they're not writing a thesis, it's not important, statistics are a moveable feast, they are snapshots which change.

Because a member has politely asked them? Would be good enough for most clubs. There are no commercial sensitivity issues

Not important?  Do you just accept stats without knowing where they came from?

By the way, can you not see that I am genuinly interested in the accurate figures? I am not point scoring. I could not care less if the CC use facebook or not but you must by now be aware of that if you have read the previous posts.

Well I'm sure the CC have a source and you could always put the question in Ask the Expert even if you're away. 

Thank you brue.

For some reason I am rapidly losing the will to live over this very simple matter.

You should not really have to ask. The club should have stated the source in the post. Using statistics without quoting the source is bad form. When they are used in newspapers, there is usually a reference to where they came from.

I just hope the members who accept what they read without question don't take the Daily Mail

Sorry Daily Mail readers

How can you be friends with someone you have never met?  Many forums on the Internet have closed down because people shifted to Ache book and the same will happen to CT.  Facebook was the death knell for a number of forums!

Or any Newpapers for that matter

I do not mind some informaton that is "published" as today when the best Three counties in the Uk to bring up children are Hertfordshire ,followed by Cambridgshire and Mid Bedfordshire third,

Ayrshire in Scotland was last
