OK, so I'm a sad pedantic fool. Nevertheless, I've spotted a couple recently to share with you all.
The first is that in WDMTGTS, they talk about not having seen their father for some time, yet 7 months earlier in Winter Holiday he's in Malta on his way to China, and in Coot Club, between those two, the Swallows are in the south with their father, on leave, which is why they aren't in the Lakes. It's a bit unlikely he could get from Malta (en route to China), back for the Easter Holidays, out to China, and back again by July!
The second is to do with Watersmeet Farm near Beckfoot - in PP the fire fighters say there's nobbut an old man and a little lad there, but in P & M Jacky (from that farm) talks about going to market with his Dad to sell young pigs.
