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.

If only your observation had been valid this pointless sub thread
wouldn't have happened.

I hadn't pointed out your error initially, you mean?

Is there any point to this?

I don't know - you're the one who went off on one when your error was
pointed out.


A) I made a riposte, I didn't go "off on one".
B) Since that riposte wasn't directed at you why did you feel the need to
intervene?
