It does matter when you're statistically proving accuracy.
Who played Captain Kirk in Star Trek isn't actually something that belongs

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
