He said that he left his house around 3:30 am, he knew that he had to make it to Pickford's by 4:00 am.
The distance that I'm satisfied with is 1.74 miles ... the section around Devonshire Park might be a bit different,
and the difference between going up Bath Street vs Darling might also slight vary,
and where on Liverpool street he entered the facility is not known;
but 1.74 miles, I'm happy with it.
The times are what Lechmere thought, and how far he had to go, and what time he had to get there.
We have no need to match them with PC Neil's, PC Mizen's or anyone else.
His sense of time is separate, independent, and it will influence the rate he feels he needs to go to make it to work on time.
People set a pace and pretty much stick to it on a long, pretty much uninterrupted walk.
1.74 miles/30 minutes : that's his average rate which pretty much corresponds to a constant, consistent rate that he would set.
Now, if you tell me he might have took a piss in some corner of Buck's row ..... that's possible.
More importantly, if you discovered that the Albion brewery did not have lights set up along Bath Street to prevent crime,
that would undercut somewhat the argument ... where he now would be roughly 45 yards behind Lech going up Buck's row.
Since you guys are fetched by the masking argument, okee doke! That works out well for you.
In my opinion, it still doesnt' work out.
Quite frankly, declaring that anyone's absolute time is impossible to know tells me that you misunderstand the argument.
And I'm not amused by the current effort to sweep every temporal aspect of the case under the rug and declare we know nothing.
