Thanks for pointing that out Patrick.

Yes, you are right.

The publisher for Bullet Proof, the story of Matt Croucher GC, is Century, Random House.

I have decided to end my correspondence with Peter Burden.

It is rather daft.

He has his view and he is entitled to it.

I have mine.

We are opposed.

Period.

Perhaps it would be best if it is left there.

Kind regards,

Robert

Boys, boys, boys. Whilst I agree with you Robert that accuracy is always important and good thing that Peter corrected his, I certainly hope for your sake that your publisher isn’t as you have recorded: “Randon House” (sic) I do hope for your benefit it is Random House.

Dear Peter,

Sorry about that – yes the typo thing was a little petty. I apologize. Personally, I believe given the huge sums of taxpayers money spent on security and funding the British royals there is a genuine public interest in what they are up to.

But I have noted your point and taken it on board. However, I am not sure what purpose this made-up tosh about me being called Robert “Blow” Jobson makes. Just a bit of daft nonsense made up by you by the sound of it.

My offer of lunch is always open to you. I am fascinated by your obsession with the News of the World.

Having been at the paper for less than a year on a consultant contract – and having worked for all different newspapers across what used to be Fleet Street – I find the reporters and staff hard working and professional.

I am currently working on a book about Matt Croucher who was awarded the George Cross for Randon House.

Let me have your address I would love to send you a copy.

With every good wish,

Robert Jobson

To Robert Jobson

Thanks for spotting the typo in my last blog. I have corrected it, but of course, it doesn’t affect in the slightest the point I was making. Would that the persistent and innumerbale inaccuracies in your paper were as trivial.

Dear Peter,

For the record Harry’s new girl is called Astrid Harbord not Harborn as you state and it was the society Bible Tatler that used the term “Hardcore sisters” first.

I am sure an author of your standing agrees that accuracy – even on this little site – is important.

I have no idea what you are trying to imply with your reference to Robert “Blow” Jobson.

Please spell it out, clearly.

You seem to have a problem personally with me without ever having met me.

I am more than happy to respond to your internet mud-slinging if you would care to call.

I look forward to your next defence of recism – it truly beggared belief.

With kind regards,

Rob Jobson
