it's on the internet so it must be true

When I see things like this I wince:

"Ian Harrison introduced our husband and wife team of speakers by quoting some notable facts of the LNER. The salary of the Chairman in 1923, Ralph Wedgewood, was £10,000 pa (equivalent to £350,000 at today's rates)".

For a start we've got Wedgwood incorrectly spelt, then there's the totally incorrect claim he was chairman of the LNER in 1923, when in fact William Whitelaw was.

And this kind of rubbish is coming from the Friends of the National Railway Museum! I dispair. It's been up on the internet uncorrected for almost 11 years too.
