My learned colleagues Messrs Lees and Sebba have put the record straight with some input from the venerable Farmer Paterson.

They have provided this link which gives some excellent background:

Also some historical information here:

Gentlemen – I stand corrected!

Thank you for putting me straight.

It is still a great shame that Riches and Sear have been re-named though!
