You're not wrong there, anthonyberet. It's considerably more than I said.
It's . . . . well, hundreds more, at least. It just goes to show, doesn't
it?

As you know, I respect your opinion, anthonyberet, even when I don't. 1183,
if I'm not mistaken (and, unlike the 'White Christmas' versions fiasco, I'm
not) is *1* thousand, and spare change. Hundreds, in other words. So, in a
way, despite my shite attempt at researching the versions, I'm still up on
the deal, if you think about it.

I'll have to take your word on that, anthonyberet. I don't have those
demographics at hand. One thing I don't understand, though, is where
Grimsbians get their dairy products. They must have shops, or something,
there, despite what I hear of the dire financial straits they're all in.
Good luck to them, I say.
