Robin Ashton Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Statistically, it has been proven that shepherd, Jack Shepherd (not to be mistaken for Wycliffe actor Jack Shepherd) tends to agree when asked if he will tend his flock by night.

Many thanks, Porto Red x If the sample of one contains many variables, the agreement may apply to most of the variables, but occasionally not to others. Then you may have a tendency to agree, but only a tendency, due to the variability of the sample. I would tend to agree that, in general, a sausage roll is a good half time snack, but couldn’t categorically agree unless the source of supply is identified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
