The small print

It's a joke site with real numbers in it. Here's what that means.

It's for fun

The scores are worked out from public figures and are roughly right, but they're there to make you laugh and argue, not to help you choose where to live. Don't buy or sell a house on our say-so. The jokes are jokes.

Nobody official is involved

No council, police force, water company or government department has anything to do with this site, and none of them would want to.

Letters

Your letter is yours, and you're responsible for what's in it. By sending it you let us show it on the site. The editor reads every letter before it goes up and turns down anything that:

• names or points at a real person, or names a business;
• goes after anyone's race, religion, nationality, disability, sexuality or gender identity;
• threatens anyone, or is spam.

Slag the place off as much as you like. We can take a letter down at any time, and we don't explain every decision.

The vote

One vote per browser. It closes at midnight at the end of 31 December 2027 and the winner is announced in January 2028. Anyone caught stuffing the ballot box gets their votes binned. The vote never changes the Crap Score.
