Oops, sorry about the previous mail with zero content. What I meant to

I defer to your better knowledge of the city. I thought you were saying
that there was no point in redirecting the rockets because all parts of
London had been bombed out anyway.
On a related note, does any one have an idea of the factual accuracy
of Irving's other material? I haven't read the book, but wouldn't want
to track down something that has already been discredited (although a
denial of the holocaust isn't exactly a good indication of factual
accuracy in the rest of the book).
I'm glad that this thread has atleast managed to distract people
momentarily from making fun of other people with funny names and their
English :-).
Regards,
Murthy
