Jack, I think you are misunderstanding me . I wasn't referring to the character of Nancy per se, in fact I hadn't really connected that the two instances I cited both concerned Nancy. I was just pointing out the huge difference in attitude between AR and us, between now and then, when ( in Peter Duck) anyone would bring up a series of "failures" so openly. Perhaps it's because I live in the US where failure is a dirty word, no one actually FAILS at anything. The Picts and the Martyrs might be construed as more of a class thing, I suppose, but it's still a very different attitude to display towards someone you are hoping will get the boat done as soon as possible! (To give the old boat builder his due, I don't think he was particularly rattled by Nancy.)
