 Jimmy Hill was famous for having a large chin and a moustache, not a beard as you state. As Jimmy Hill and his large chin are a British institution, I call foul on you my lad. ; ) [[User:Fingermouse|Fingermouse]] 15:37, 31 May 2007 (EDT)

		+	I had already logged off (it was ''way'' past my bed-time here in Oz), hence the lack of an earlier response.
		+
		+	I haven't compared AvengingAngel's and Fox' claims word-for-word, but AvengingAngel has listed a number of things that she(?) claims were correct, and Fox listed a number of things that he claims are incorrect, and it seemed to me in reading both that ''the two lists were entirely different''. That is, you are not actually disagreeing on any individual point. And both sounded reasonable too, by the way.
		+
		+	Now if that assessment is correct, the solution seems pretty obvious: Reinstate the bits that AvengingAngel says are correct, and leave out the bits that Fox says are incorrect. That's likely going to take something of a rewrite, so simply reverting is not the way to go.
		+
		+	So, AvengingAngel, if you (or anyone) would like to reinstate and reword the bits that you reckon are okay, and leave out the bits that Fox says are not okay, everything should be hunky-dory, shouldn't it?
		+
		+	No doubt there will still be some disagreement on some points, but they can be brought to this talk page and discussed ''individually''.
		+
		+	Sound reasonable?
