Yer in fine form today, Derek me ol' trout! Note that writers, actors etc who have been-there-done-that-bought-the-t-shirt NEVER screw this up... it's only the idiots who have no idea what they're talking about. I saw an unmemorable program on TV last week about some Canadian coming back from WW2... and some asshole in the wardrobe department had had his corporal stripes sewn on upside down, and homemade flashes from a non-existent unit positioned UNDER "Canada" flashes! I bloody near chucked my drink through the TV screen before sanity reinstated itself (haven't paid for the TV yet and it would be a waste of good vodka), but what still goes through my mind is that there is SO much expertise out there, yet these people keep screwing up. I should go looking for a job...
