The station predates the film industry.

Clearly your grasp of history is almost as non-existent as your
sense of humour....

On this particular occasion in direct inverse proportion to your
sense of self-importance perhaps?

Or you're inability to accept that you were in error, perhaps?

When you've learnt to read and write English feel free to raise the
subject
again.


Well, **** me, but obviously I've conned all those editors and
publishers who've paid for my writing in the past! Still, I think a
bit of bad editing when I changed what I first started to type pales
into insignificance compared to your stunning belief that the film
industry didn't exist before 1939.


It's true some people are easily misled, but I'd be interested to know how
you arrive at the conclusion that I believe that there was no film industry
before 1939.


The station - which you said "predates the film industry" - dates from
1939.
