How Old Is Paul In This Photo and Why Are They Claiming He Was Alive And Six Years' Older?

I found an article at BBC Leeds online that gives you an idea of the length they'll go to perpetuate the farce that Paul of early 1966 is the same Paul that was around and kicking in 1972.

First, take a look at the photo from the article. If you are a Beatles fan you know that this is our Paul from 1966. But the article--at:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/leeds/features/radio_leeds/macca.shtml leads you to believe that the Paul in the photo is our Paul in 1972.  (NOTE:  You will need to type the website info above directly in your computer's address box to link to the article;  I tried the link, and BBC gives an error message.)

The gist of the article is that the teenage reporter got a phone call from "Paul" in 1972 and "Paul" told him that he was going out on the road with wife Linda and a new band called Wings.  If you saw the photo and then read the article, you would conclude that our Paul is the Linda and Wings Paul.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how they perpetuate a farce.
