Not really.Granted that there is a large number who can claim with some validity to have had a narrow escape, I still have a hunch that there's a significant amount of... um... "creative memory"...
StR is correct to point out that the parameters of "narrow escape" are very unclear, and that point is wholly compatible with FSS' reply ^up there^ - to which I'm pretty sympathetic.

That too.Human memory, not so much either. Never mind deliberately exaggerating.

I agree with youWas just trying to make that point about what a 'narrow escape' means, really. For me, with 7/7. I definitely FELT like it was a narrow escape, but as that bit of maths up there shows, I'm well aware that actually, as FSS points out further down, it needs to be a pretty loose definition of 'narrow' to really be true.
