I take all the above points; but, however untrustworthy Jim may regard google, and infallible Anne may think Norman Buchan, I was merely responding to Jim's assertion that

"Morris Blythman AKA Thurso Berwick was never credited..."

which, say what you will, I have demonstrated to have been inaccurate.

Yes he was, by at least the compilers of SRSM Songs; and frequently and publicly by Robin Hall in the late 50s ~~ surely someone else must recall his singing it with that attribution?

& obviously they will not have been the only ones.
