It had to happen ;)

So that's why they published those false statistics! Who knew? ;-) Very clever story!

Thanks!
Could be sheer incompetence on the part of Thrush, of course.

Inspired! Truly inspired. I'm sure over the years we've all questioned their 'vital statistics' put out by the studio, as well as those ID cards.

Thanks! Those cards were absurd - it had to be Thrush incompetence. Why the studio stuck with them is a mystery - whenever there was someone tall around it was obvious they had to angle the cameras very carefully to minimise the contrast with the leads.
