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.

So are you saying that there was no St. John's Wood station before
that date?

No, but then the station under discussion is the Jubilee/ex-Bakerloo
one. You said "the station predates the film industry," not "the
station _name_ predates the film industry."

So it's OK for you to make a mistake but no one else, is that what you're
saying?

Your entire posting was based on a mistake. That's somewhat different
from making a minor editing error in any otherwise valid observation.
