I don't need to make up anything I'm not a young kid I'm 73 yo and computer OK. I ran PC Assist in Oldham, for 25x years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scenario is that Lofty saw it on the official and posted on here. It was queried on here, when he checked the official, it had been taken down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when someone is posting about breaking news confirmation, they include the link to the article, or the Twitter/Insta post from the official pages, not just as proof, but just to make it easier for people to click on to read the details of the story. It’s just the done thing when posting news. If he had posted the link we’d be able to see the URL it would contain the headline name and date, which would add some credence to his claim. But given he hasn’t posted a link, and is the only person to have claimed to seen this new article, I think it’s more likely he clicked the link to the old story that was going around on Twitter.

I can’t envision the guy who ran a PC repair shop for 25 years struggling to click on URL in a web browser and clicking copy and paste. It’d be like a gourmet chef not knowing how to make toast.
