Continuity mistake: In section 12 of chapter 11, Henry thinks about how "He, Pete, Beaver and Jonesy's wife had kept a secret among them", that Jonesy's "heart had stopped twice" after he was hit by a car about 10 months earlier. This is a mistake because earlier that day, in section 8 of chapter 3, Pete hadn't known about it - Henry tells Pete that Jonesy's "heart stopped in the ambulance", and Pete is shocked to hear it.
