Isn't the definition of factoid something that is plausible but wrong?
Er I'm not sure if we've not had this discussion before Simon but my
dictionary says; something plausible repeated until it becomes accepted as
true. I
have to say I used it as something that sounds about plausible. Apparently
the
Yanks use it to describe a trivial news item....
As to the "most desirable houses" the bloke opposite me dug up his front
garden parking spot, grassed it over, then moved. New people moaned at me the
other week when the crew managed to turn up en-masse with 4 vehicles between
em
and associated woodchippers and thus block the milk man and the bin man and
generally cause chaos. can't say I blame them really. Employees eh? they're
worse than your flipping kids......
