Message: [QUOTE="monica e. hall, post: 42827, member: 166175"] Golf clubs??! I can scarcely believe what I'm reading. Powerful lot of 'hmmmmmmms' on this thread. This may sound daft, but I do wonder if Governments don't admit to this sort of stuff these days, even decades afterwards , because of litigation. I don't know much about statutes of limitation etc., but it seems fairly stupid for a Government of 50+-year olds in 2004 not to admit that, say, the Lusitania was carrying something fishy, unless they were worried about people taking some sort of action - descendants it would be now, like Holocaust descendants wanting money from Switzerland (that I can understand) or various governments wanting items back from museums around the world ... sounds silly, I know. But one does wonder what other explanation there can be? After all, HM Gov can hardly be responsible for something that happened nearly 90 years ago. Mind you, governments do love witholding information just for the sake of it, or so it seems. [/QUOTE]
