I watched a re run of "murder on the links" today via itv player. (Hercule Poirot) supposedly set in 1936 as evidenced by banners heralding the 1936 Deauville cycle race. Imagine how disappointed I was when I saw a calendar in the police office displaying the days date as Wednesday 18th may. Hmmm I thought I don't think the 18th of may was a Wednesday in 1936. I checked and the Wednesdays in may 1936 were, 6, 13, 20 & 27. Too, too shoddy. My brother was born on a Wednesday in may in the year 1966.
