Conclusion

By 'cherry-picking' through all the readings, the three participants were able to find perhaps half a dozen statements that they could make fit their own circumstances - as could I. Individually, however, it was a different story.

Just a reminder:
#1 is the American lady who wants to believe.
#2 the retired lady in Wales who neither believes nor disbelieves
#3 the retired male who does not believe.

Correct
1. Moving (#1)
2. Three birth months (#1) - but I can also identify with those three birth months.
3. Country life and country living (#2)

Generalisations
The average height for a female in both the UK and UK is between 5' 4" and 5' 5" (#1 & #2)
Most mothers of that generation would wear a wedding ring, even if they weren't actually married. (#1)
The average height for a male in the UK and US is between 5' 8" and 5' 9". (#1 & #2)

Can be made to fit
1. One grandfather was a mechanical engineer, but rest incorrect . (#1)
2. Other grandfather was 5' 8"
3. Uncle Bert - Albert and Mary, but remote and died long before subject's birth (#1)
4. The name William, although neither person was actually called by it (#2)

Total misses
1. Promotion, when her job was actually terminated. (#1)
2. Blacksmith, pit ponies or mills (#1)
3. Children - never had any / never had connections with children. (#1 & #2)
4. Lady described (#2)
5. Lady in photograph (#2)
6. Male (#2)
7. Anniversaries/birthdays in September (#2)
8. Anniversary in April (#2)
9. All anniversaries October to December (#2)
10. Deaths in February and March (#2)

26. Three brothers (#3)
27. R.A.F. squadron photo (#3)
28. Personnel and career (#3)

30. Scotland (#3)

Meaningless padding
1. Watch today (#1)
2. Watch Friday to Sunday this week – feels good(#1)
3. The idea spoken about a month ago coming into place shortly (#1)
4. Something going on 3 weeks ago that's sorted (#1)

10. Three different things going on (#2)
11. No more bad times its springtime for a long time in your life (#2)
12. Seas calming from a rough storm (#3)
13. Spinning around (#3)
14. Concerned about or indecisive about things (#3)
15. Three to five weeks from today things seems to come clearer (#3)
16. Watch the difference about 3 to 5 days after you get this tape (#3)
17. Within 5-8hrs of getting this tape you will get some good news not bad news (#3)

The best of the three readings was #1, but

The worst part of the three readings has to be where the medium goes for broke and tries for a connection to the Merchant Navy, the Royal Navy, the R.A.F. and the Army!! It is usually a good bet that there's somebody in the family who served in one of the armed forces, but unfortunately for this medium, #3's family was the exception!

Frankly, I'm not at all sure why this person believes he is a medium, or that he could provide meaningful readings for anyone. Unfortunately, the individual is about to be launched onto the big stage in a matter of weeks. We shall see what transpires then.
