Sharing this partly so I can find the link again easily, and partly because it gives me a chance to say I WAS THERE. I count myself very lucky to have been in the right place at the right time.

Evil George from Alternate 1995 was waiting on the corner of Allerton Road on July 6th 1957, ready to stop Paul from getting to Woolton Fete. Timeline 3 George was in George Martin’s wardrobe with on the morning of 6th June 1962, trying to prevent Timeline 5 Evil George from destroying the tie. In 45 seconds George Martin would be approaching the tie rack. George shoved all the other ties onto the floor, leaving only the horse patterned one. As long as Timeline Seven George v2 managed to keep Timeline Four Evil George overpowered on the fire escape outside EMI Studio Two on the evening of 6th June 1962, history would take its intended course. He tensed; Martin was approaching the tie rack. This was it.
