    The Rashomon effect is defined as the way in which different people may describe the same observed event in very different ways. This may happen while all observers of the event believe that they are being completely honest.

    There is a lot of Rashomon about in the last day or so dont you think ??
    Its all fascinating stuff though .reminds of that old Gaelic saying

    ' 'There is nowt queerer than folk '
