Subject: RE: Folklore: Lark Rise: BBC error?
Surprised at you both, Dick & Lizzie. You are both people of strong opinions and considerable intelligence, and I would have thought the principle that ACCURACY MATTERS would have been as dear to your ♥s as to mine.

Remember the belief of Lucky Jim in Kingsley Amis's novel of that name; who predicated his existence on the belief that "Nice things are nicer than nasty ones". Well I have the same sort of belief that "Right things are righter than wrong ones" — & I should have expected you two to agree with this.

Mind you, I might have mentioned before on this forum my pride in a remark on another forum on which I spent time, where another regular commented that "MtheGM's pedantry is legendary" ~~ I think she might just have meant some sort of a put·down; but my thought was "Cor: a legend in my own lunchtime yet: WOWZER!!"
