"You said you had attended an end of year party where some 30 other ft's were grinning and happy."
Some of Alex's words in his post of October 5th in the 'Ian is an excellent teacher' thread. Alex is quoting you.That led to me quoting you.
But if Alex has misquoted you, why didn't you point it out , as you've chosen to do in my case?
Maybe you hadn't come across his earlier misquote until now.That would explain it.
