    renegagetiger said three of them aren't from hull. i said that 8 aren't. i don't know the relevance of the b.t. ads set.

    i was working on the assumption that all members of all sets were correctly placed. blacknamber appears to interpret these things differently.

    The way i read it only 3 of them are claiming to be from Hull. Edit - 4, I forgot Lipman.

    true, but the set of those that are from hull and the set of those that claim to be from hull may differ.

    the diagram doesn't have a set of people who claim to be from hull.

    it has three sets:

    people from hull
    people you think are from hull
    people who have starred in bt** adverts

    12 people are listed. 4 of them are in the "people from hull" set. 8 of them are not.

    I get that - it seemed as though you were saying the diagram was wrong because 8 of the people are not from Hull. But in the diagram, it doesn't say these people are from Hull either. If you were just pointing out a fact then you're right, if you were claiming the diagram to be wrong - then you're mistaken. Either way, i'm not sure it matters.

    indeed and i wasn't saying the diagram was wrong or questioning anything it said. if any of the 8 were from hull they would be in the same circle as mick ronson and the others. renegadetiger said three were not from hull but the diagram says 8 are not. that was all i pointed out and why.

    Bizarre coincidence that you'd mention that. The guy who directs Robson Green's shows is a distant relative of mine and I'm going to his wedding in a few weeks.
