No. It was not considered a cockup until RB spoke with PS. It was not a cockup when they gave evidence to the coroner. A full four weeks elapsed. I hope you are not so trusting
in your own dealings in life. You are a good target for scammers.
I'd suggest it was a cock up from the off. I stand by what I said about their only information coming from JB, and it's reasonable to believe he put his own spin on the story he wove. All this was, undoubtedly, passed on up the chain until it reached Taff. The boy from the valleys obviously accepted it, hook, line, and sinker. After all, an articulate, public school educated young man, couldn't possibly be lying. Did he not say it was a "domestic" before rushing off. Did he not say something about the paper work involved?
