throwing a rock through paul mccartney's window

David Hepworth in The Guardian has reviewed Daniel Rachel's new book on The Beatles, which sounds interesting, but straight away annoyed me with inaccuracies about John Lennon's ability to throw a rock through Paul McCartney's window.

He quotes from the book...

In one passage the author wonders whether John really could have thrown a brick the 75 metres (246ft) it would have taken to break the front window of Paul’s home in St John’s Wood.

Now I admit l haven't measured the distance, but even my puny arms could manage that.

These kind of mistakes annoy me so much, so I'll probably give the book a miss.
