Who has more rights thirty years on: Jeremy or Colin?

Sometimes I don't know how you manage to live with yourself, Lookout. The arrogance astounds me. I guess none of us will ever know when you're wrong -and you're as capable of being wrong as we all are-  because you're never likely to admit it.

It's not arrogance. It's experience with people. I'll always admit to being wrong when I am.

Ha, ha!! You NEVER admit to being wrong, even when you're proven wrong!

[lookout]

Because I'm rarely wrong that's why.

[Jane]

Because I'm rarely wrong that's why.

And that's NOT arrogance?

[Caroline]

Because I'm rarely wrong that's why.

Because you never admit it.

Why MUST it be arrogance ? Arrogance isn't even in my make up. Quiet confidence is though.

You're never wrong but you're not arrogant? I'm sure you're never deluded and always modest too! 

[lookout]

Wrong ! It just goes to show how you can misjudge people. You're rubbish.

Yeah but would never degrade down to your level.

 WHY? Because that's how it's perceived when someone make the sweeping claim of announcing that they're rarely wrong. I'd hazard a guess that humility isn't part of your make up, either. We can all be quietly confident AT TIMES but we don't feel the need to announce it. I don't have a problem with speaking out about my uncertainties.

I was wondering where the focal point of the White House was, where the family went to relax and spend time together. I note from all the photographs in the archive there is none of the lounge, where the twins played with their board games and toy guns those final days as reported by Ann Eaton in her statement. One can only imagine that if Sheila and Jeremy's entertainment was confined to their bedrooms as teenagers, upon return from the similar alien environment of their schools there would be very little bonding as a family, with the parents too busy building their bank balances to discuss matters with them as they should have done.

Quite amusing though, because Lookout has been shown to be wrong many times. We are all wrong, not a bad thing to be wrong if your mistake is a genuine one.

They weren't rich though, so I don't think they were too focused on their bank balances. They were farmers and with that comes alot of work, weekend work, long hours.

I think probably the heart was the kitchen BUT maybe not - I think the reason why there are no pics of the lounge is because it wasn't a focal point of the investigation. Then again, we don't have all of the pictures.

Compared to their contemporaries at Gresham's, who no doubt boasted of their daddies' thousands of acres and stocks and shares Jeremy was on the lower rung of the ladder, but I'm not sure I agree with you that they weren't rich in comparison to (say) Julie's background. I agree that farming is a vocation, but Nevill had the Midas touch and knew what to plant and what to diversify into.

There is often a "Family Room" where the children can play/watch television and parents can join them informally. Sometimes it's a large kitchen which performs this function. The drawing room would be an altogether more formal, sit up straight, be on best behaviour, affair. Definitely not child friendly. Farming families don't tend to be money oriented in the way that the nouvelle riche are, partly because it -used to be, anyway- tended to be about OLD money which always seemed to be there, making more.
