Could I repeat my original post for the benefit of Observer who seems not to have understood it.
20th August 4.50pm "I'm still looking for the official, newspaper article, on when Captain Richard B Laning (correct spelling) referred to the canoeists as Eskimos. The article mentioned by Susan, Glasgow Herald 25 March, 1961, does not appear in that paper and all mentions of Laning's comment appear only to be apocryphal and repeated. I would like hard evidence so if anyone can help ....."
Also I said the song Glasgow Eskimos was written by T S Law.
2 simple and clear statements.
Observer's answer on the 26th August 4.36pm "..... your life and beliefs are based on lies.. ".
Could I kindly ask Observer, whose hobby seems to be writing poison pen letters, if you can't help me in my quest, then desist ... go and lie down in a darkened room before suffering apoplexy or some other rage induced condition.
I'll leave the last word to you.
