didn't know, didn't care...
I used to list all these mistakes in columns in various mags. I also
included books...
Noel Barber is a very popular writer for women. My Marjorie nudged me in
bed one night to tell me that Mr Barber had someone pick someone up in 'his

Tom Clancy, universally acclaimed for getting his facts right, had someone
driving a 'Land Rover Jeep'...
It's not just Land Rovers of course. Have you EVER seen an actor holding a
fishing rod correctly in a film or TV (apart from Robert Redford's
marvellous film) ?
they don't know, they don't care...
Best Cheers
Frank
