As regards the plagiarism pointed out above: I have received an acknowledgement from the publisher, The History Press, that the information was indeed taken from this website and not credited. The publisher has offered me a fulsome apology on behalf of the author, Penny Legg, which I shall be accepting. I've withdrawn the posts on the blog to which I've linked on this site,which detailed the specific infringements. I've got one or two other bits of 'housekeeping' I'll need to do, but can't get round to yet as I've got a very hectic schedule this weekend. My sincere thanks go out to those who've supported me on this thread.

Simon.
