Sending hints about my parents was bad enough, especially as the hint about my mum was the wrong person entirely and given I was the person who had completed dad's death registration, I knew he'd died.

A novice researcher looking at my results may think they will be spending 36% of their research in NE England as that's what the blue circle says.
