That's the question I'm asking Clive :lol: I take it incidentally that 'zoopla' equates to good? The payment of rent however is a flow. If they're good for someone, they're probably bad for someone else.

What they've done is convert them into a Z score, fail to attach the original spreadsheet (as they have done for plenty of other tables) and then finally, they've taken those Z scores to form the basis of their own index. The effect looks to have been to produce some largely inpenetrable table that has bunched the regional prices much closer together (and I mean much, much closer) than any industry survey I've ever seen. It's a deliberate attempt to conceal something.

I think the execrise should still be capable of being performed, but it's going to mean drawing data from different sources. It should present a broadly informative snapshot though

Incidentally, on the subject of averages, do you know who has the highest test match batting average in history? It ain't Don Bradman

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2518881, member: 65228"] That's the question I'm asking Clive :lol: I take it incidentally that 'zoopla' equates to good? The payment of rent however is a flow.
