Can we get your feedback, please?

Pretty much the same comments as other people

• Unlablled axis needs attention.

• Colours are fine - maybe have a B&W print option for those who can't live without printing it off.

I know this is just a taster and understand it will be used for other data, but I just cannot see what we will use it for? We know how much things cost and they cost what they cost - how is charting any of this going to help anyone?

I like it.

I like it. I like graphs and spend a lot of time at work displaying data this way.

Very interesting in theory but yes, there's nowt worse than an unlabelled axis. You'd get marks deducted at GCSE for that, I'm sure.

ooh, just played with the zoom in/out function. Very clever.

The axes need proper labelling.
The last graph has too many lines: it is difficult to differentiate 8 colours.
In fact, do you need to use colours? If, for any reason, I wanted to print this info then I would want to use the black cartridge, not the colour one. Could you use a variety of dotted/dashed/broken lines instead of colour?

I think a comparison of the prices that farmers receive(d) for their produce and the price of that produce in the supermarkets would be very interesting.

The visuals on the page are good, but I don't think it's a good plan to lump different seasons in together when it coems to cost - okay, the general trend is upwarsd, but apples are cheaper in season, so form October to December.
What you should do, is have a graph that show only the cheapest season for the fruits (if you're lumping different fruits together) - that's because bananas and oranges andstrawberries and apples all have different seasons, plus, bananas in general are more expensive than apples (eve in season)

Slightly off topic but could we possibly have school reviews?

And preschool, and other settings. Obviously within the bounds of libel/etc! But maybe a star rating system a la schoolsnet? (which I'm not sure many people have heard of).

interesting but other than boring people at dinner parties I am not sure what I would do with this info, or similar info on other products (and I am sure the grape thing is about price-matching as they are basically a loss-leader product for supermarkets).

Personally, I like the graphs and find them easy to read [geek]

I also think you need to give Norman his cup of tea emoticon soon, or there will be mass playmobil protests and you will find MN Towers surrounded by a large crowd of small but very cross people. I am sure he would agree to a compromise of sharing an emoticon with coffee-drinkers.

I am sure that some posters would find this useful, but the short answer is that I don't see myself finding a use for the graphs ...

I would suspect that most graphs regarding costs would be postive slope - it would just be the degree of slope that would vary ..

I like Pacific's idea of in season fruit and veg, I'm never sure what is in season!

I'd like one on the price of meat..

Clear, very easy to understand, but not sure why you're bothering?

I like the graphs ... well laid out - clear to read ... techy person here giving it a thumbs up

I have no problem with this way of presenting data. There is some duplication (the main graph at the end is a bit of a WHAM after the smaller ones) and I'd present the full data first then break it down gradually.

Median prices over the year would be useful too - these graphs plot prices regardless of season which is very aaaa! when it comes to the grapes!

Also how this relates to food miles would interest me (for your specific fruit example!)
ie a plot of fruit prices and where they come from... we try and eat seasonally.

I would like a graph to show the price of tea. (and a teacup emoticon)

Interesting, but maybe not that useful on a day-to-day basis. Easy to read, well laid out and all that

I would be interested in a graph showing seasonal variations in price and wonder whether that would help people to buy more in-season stuff??

I would like the banana line in yellow, the apple line in red and the pear line in green.

You know, so we can see when to avoid each other.

Lovely to look at, thankyou but I'm not entirely sure what this is for.

I know apples cost more than they used to but I still buy them iyswim.

If you could have one saying how many defections we have had to and from NetMums that would be interesting.

or one comparing and collating our monthly cycles.

that is really really interesting

deffo financial stuff would be good

and other foods

zoos go through less fruit than my children

Nice. Very nice. More please!

Could you do something similar comparing the different costs for various kinds of fresh fish? Given the recent interest in what's happening to our fisheries I think that would be very useful.

I'd also like to see similar treatments for energy costs and also insurance - car insurance has been very volatile over the last few years.

erm, I can't bring myself to care about the cost of apples. Sorry.
But the graphs are pretty.
