That I’ve been told, and I can well believe!

And realistically it’s something folks kinda need to workout by themselves,
ie pause think is this true?

I default to no or at least I’ll get back to you? Or with Faceblindness
knowing that false positives are common, if I mildly recognise someone, I
essentially say “ok brain you recognise them? From where? How do you
recognise?”

Mind you other times folks come up and know my name and family and I
haven’t a clue who they are such is life!

I think that with Tom both can be true, the one doesn’t need to exclude the
other and so on.

Ie even if true doesn’t excuse being an Arse!
