Electoral Rolls of the Dice
Sometime contributor to tuppenceworth, Daragh O'Brien, has started his own blog. He opens up his shutters with a discussion of the inaccuracies in the Electoral Roll with the benefit of his professional expertise in Data Quality Management. More of the same will be a welcome addition to the world.
