Well thats admissable then.
Hey blackie I think you'll find in 'civil proceedings' that anecdotal or 'hearsay evidence' is permissable, from wikipedia:

The law concerning hearsay in civil proceedings was reformed substantially by the Civil Evidence Act 1995[11] ("the 1995 Act") and is now primarily upon a statutory footing. The Act arose from a report of the Law Commission published in 1993[12] which criticised the previous reforming statutes' excessive caution and cumbersome procedures. Section 1 of the Act says
In civil proceedings evidence shall not be excluded on the ground that it is hearsay
