Er, who precisely are these "we," Nigel?
"We" are those who have been reading your rants for a while, and have already realised that you have only a vague acquaintance with "the truth". Often you try to change the meanings of your previous remarks by claiming they were 'whimsy'.
That was a dishonest and stalking response to a remark I made in a very narrow context,
The remark you made did not say that it was in any particular context.



You have no right to make pejorative extrapolations beyond that context.
Accepting your words, at face value is hardly an 'extrapolation'. A 'scientist' would know that an extrapolation is using a basic statement and expanding its meaning to include things not already there.

. . .
I note that the truth didn't particularly matter to you yesterday, by the way, when you misinterpreted your graph to us and did not retract, in spite of your being pulled up for it. An absolute disgrace, now laced with a healthy dose of hypocrisy.

Hardly 'my' graph. It was from a reputable website, and linked to in order that others could view its source.
My only comment on the graph was:
The pound continues its downward soar, Keith. (Steve Shaw)
The figures don't appear to support your claim.
Maybe you're just using a poor supplier. (Me)

In view of your more recent comments:

Anyway, the bottom line is that the pound is languishing this morning at the level it's been at for about the last four or five months. The rate I can get from Caxton this morning for my holiday money is a cent and a half lower than when I bought some less than 48 hours ago. One swallow clearly did not a summer make.
It appears I had nothing to 'retract'.

I still agree with your comment about your relationship with the truth.
