New posters welcome. It would be helpful to read at least the four Observer items above before posting. There are currently 10 items on The Observer website The real Salt Path | The Observer

To all - No saltiness. Keep to the path. Please be extremely cautious when it comes to naming or implicating people and addresses not in the public eye or with no direct connection to the story, and around the understandable health speculations, especially where details are unclear or still emerging. Please do not engage with visitors who seem to have their own agenda and seek to derail. Avoid @'ing and quoting them as - from experience - this will only encourage them back to the threads. We have done amazingly well together for nine very interesting, very serious and very silly threads so far. I can't be here as much as I'd like so all help with keeping our discussion walking along in a healthy and civil fashion is very welcome.

Keep calm and eat fudge.

Thank you

I can't handle the country and western pre-music.

I see we're joined by Beowulf on zoom....

I like Chloe's earrings

So grateful for our in situ correspondents. Got to work - but will be reading all about it here (I hope!)

I wonder if, had the Walkers engaged at the beginning, Chloe would ever had gone into the other stuff at all

Chloe is a very good, clear speaker. I know she's a good writer, but the two skills don't necc go together.

"Quality Welsh village gossip"!

How on earth did she think she would get away with stealing so much money. Not the amounts per se, but that it was so much it had noticeable effects. It wasn't hidden away and unnoticed.

It seems perfectly possible that if they'd said 'Yes, it's a bit weird that Moth hasn't degenerated faster, but now the doctors are saying he's got an atypical version of the condition, which is developing unusually slowly', CH might have decided there was no public interest story.

The audience seats look comfy! It looks like a lounge!

And it didn't fit with terminal illness with not long to live!

Good clear explanation from Chloe of CBS Vs CBD. Now bringing up the date discrepancy 2015 Vs walk in 2013

I wonder if the Walkers are watching this?!

That poor bloody man and his poor wife!

Someone with CBD being interviewed by Chloe. He describes the concept of Moths recovery as "insulting" to people who aren't getting better from exercise.

I can imagine the Walkers believing that what other people do has got nothing to do with them at all.

PRH didn't respond to requests from Chloe for info etc.
The response from PRH was initially published in a trade mag behind a pay wall

Covering the brain scans showing reversal and that Penguin should have looked into that more.

Chloe said that due diligence in publishing is the next direction of her investigation

Yes, because whatever else might have been true, that was going to be nonsense.

She obviously thought she could get away with anything.

Oh dear, audience questions - I hope they can cut the waffle a bit! That one went on and on!

Someone in chat asking why the latest article hasn't been published.

Observer suggesting person ask the question live.

Perso has declined as they are in their dressing gown!

Is it one of the MN posse?

Is this a question or a chance to talk?

Think they might be one and the same! Speculation of course!
