Good old Sid.
Never one even to accept the universally established norm that affects his side of the Atlantic when he can quote an exception in a weak attempt to discredit the general with a lone particular, even when the original statement accepted that there were exceptions and made this self-righteous pedanticism quite superfluous. (Sid, nb there's a world of difference between "isn't likely" and "Cannot" or "won't ever". One is an absolute, the other isn't...) Geddit?
