I have explained this a million times - it was clever A. because he answered the question without actually answering!! If I had later discovered his answer was wrong, he could have simply said "Well, I couldn't exactly remember the question" and B. because having already answered, he made it difficult for me to ask it again - by saying 'I already told you'. He could have said many things but he chose not to answer, he chose to dodge the question. That's why it's clever.
I haven't accused Jeremy of making 'many' mistakes.
You don't have to keep answering in explanation marks - I am not having a go - just asking a question.
You said he originally said that he had not answered that question about the wallet or he could not remember or denied even saying it - and after all the only indication we have is in the original statement from AE .Then he recounted the actual event - without saying what was in the wallet ( if I have understood you correctly)
I am sure after all this time and all the reading he has done certain things must have become blurred in his mind - however what I was saying was if he had been clever he could have said - " I saw the wallet when NB paid people on the farm - or I did not know the actual amount I was just guessing as that is what my father was like? Etc etc - would you have queried his answer then ? probably not
I just thought that would have been cleverer than denying and then avoiding. Just my opinion that's all.
