    Do you have a reliable source or reference for the statement "People used false alibis in 1888 and alibis were of course tested"?

      Do a search in the British Newspaper Archive on the word alibi for the year 1888 and you will find the sources.

        Does the British Nespaper Archive have a reliable source for it?

        Tell me when you have done your search.

          I have no intention of doing any searches my dear boy.

          Do you have a reliable source for your statement or not?

            Well, no search no sources. That is what I find all the time.

              I was asking if you had a source my dear boy.

              It transpires that you don't have a source.

              What a shame.

                Yes, it transpires in your opinion, in your brain.

                But something else transpires when you search the BNA, something you do now want to do to find what you look for.

                Or rather, it transpires you do not want to find it, you merely want to criticize me for the sake of it.

                What a shame.

                  My dear boy, I don't even have a subscription to the British Newspaper archive.

                  I was asking you if you had a source, I wasn't asking me if I had a source.

                  If you had a source I would expect you to tell me what it is.

                  You have not done so.

                  Ergo, you have no source.

                      How nice of you to repeat everything you say so many times. I will be be nice too and copy it a lot. I learn it from you.

                        I don't wish to my dear boy. I also don't need to because I'm not searching for a source for you.

                          Your expectations are not always what you expect.

                            My dear boy, it would be a lot easier if you answered my questions rather than not answering them, thus causing me to repeat them.

                            So do you actually have a source, reliable or otherwise, for the statement you posted in your OP that: "People used false alibis in 1888 and alibis were of course tested."?

                            If so, what is it?

                              Oh, but you wanted a "reliable" source. And since you think that your own opinion about reliability is no opinion but a fact - the moment you think a thought about reliability - while on the other hand you think that my historical thought about reliability is wrong, you should go by your own "fact".

                                I feel I must correct you again my dear boy. If you look at my post #12 you will find I asked:

                                "My dear boy, do you have any source or reference for that statement?"

                                I wasn't asking for a "reliable" source. Just a source or a reference. You didn't give me a source or reference.

                                You still haven't.
