Yes, I recall seeing summat about this a year or so ago. Oh yes my folks' families lived through (what we call) the Blitz (buzz-bombed?). But I wasn't referring to your being the father of Poisson distribution - rather that at your advanced age you skew the average from a Normal :-)

Mind you, how did being able to predict bomb patterns do anything to save buildings or lives?

"Cor blimey, look 'Arry! Jerry's dropped a stick o' bombs just o'er our 'eads, mite!"
