"I'm asking where I can find verification of this "fact"."
Are you saying it isn't in 'Spokesmen For Liberty'? Thirty years since I read it so I could be wrong, but I think it was also included in one of Charles Parker's 'Long March of Everyman' programmes or 'The British Seaman'.
I'll look it up when I have time - but it will have to wait until we're back from Kerry at the week-end - sorry.
