(2) They were NOT made up of uninvited guests but made welcome in that they brought good luck to the bride and groom.
(3) "could not be refused entry"? Nonsense!
(4) "if they were entertaining they were then fed and watered"? More nonsense
(5) 'old scores settled" and "clean slates" Lads! You look very pretty but you need to get your facts right!
