Presumably many writers and certainly a vast number of historians have taken their chronology of events on the authority of those who claimed to be participants in or eyewitnesses to important doins but got things a bit wrong because they weren't entirely all there themselves (stress, shock, stopped wrist watches, bad eyes, faulty memory, personal agendas, old age). So long as these "scribes" don't all write like that idiot Muderlak, I'll manage to keep my breakfast down. Looking forward to Foxy's Elsie submission which no doubt will be readable after a good pruming and weeding!
