With respect Mike 700 all I asked for was to provide the source of the comments you were good enough to provide us with so that the veracity of those comments could be tested. I didn’t ask for chapter and verse about the Darien or any other episode in Scotlands National history.
I therefor have to conclude that the “tickety boo” comments were as I suspected not from a respected source and therefor should be viewed as such unless of course you are willing to divulge the source.
