It was what the brick yard wanted. So will you amateurs SHUT UP with your wild guesses.

Good grief!
I am now an official member of A.D.C.R. - Accrington and District Cage Rattlers.

Nigh on impossible for a mistake to be passed through all of those processes?
If the mistake was on the blueprint then the end result would match the mistake.
