Tonight, the BBC manage to report on the launch of the London Profiler website without once using the phrase "that's so nifty!" - that'd be because they're all high paid reporter types...
It really is very nifty.
The 'help' buttons in each heading also lead to useful sites / explanations of methodology, which just make the maps niftier still, by explaining things like "how we ended up with 'Sikh' and 'Other Muslim' in a list that's otherwise based on national/regional divisions, and doesn't have any non-other Muslim categories", which is the kind of thing that otherwise bugs me.
***
Also, in unrelated, and far less nifty, news: apparently the Bull and Gate is on the market, and thus under threat as a venue. When I was writing about the Astoria the other day, the Bull and Gate is one of those smaller places I mentioned having a lot of affection for.
Here's hoping it stays in sympathetic hands.
