well, are you going to tell us?

or did I miss it?

Well, you can find out by searching which candidate got 969 votes on 12th
December (there was only one as far as I can see. His initials - as I
pointed out in my reply - are "BC").

by searching 650 different constituency results

gee thanks

Hmm. Problem...

I had used Google to search for the terms: 969 votes 12 december general
election (region UK)

The fourth hit was
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/E14000535, for the
Ashfield constituency. Searching the page for 969 found "Bob
Charlesworth". But the BBC in their wisdom had included the results for
the 2017 election - and that was where the 969 came from. I'd missed it
was a 2017 result.

So I searched for the full results of the 12th December general
election. The third hit was:
https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-8749#fullreport
At the bottom of the page is a link to an Excel spreadsheet with results
by candidate. On loading that I sorted column "O" (number of votes) to
find out which candidate got 969 votes. So what's the problem? Well,
according to that spreadsheet there were *no* candidates who got exactly
969 votes!

I now await Mr Doom's clarification...
