No Harry I based my comments on the Telegraph article as is clear from my OP - as apparently did charleski, whose comments I was responding to. This whole thread is based on the Telegraph article, not on the televised interview, which quite clearly portrays Martin Amis as being rude, or at least as eliciting responses from children's authors themselves as though he was being rude or worse. Maybe you should take your point up with the editor of that paper, or with the children's authors who you seem to be claiming misunderstood his comments - unless you have some particular reason for repeating the same point to me.
