scorpa, those are the issues I had. Mr PM gave me a new password and coupled with the latest update it was fine. He may give you a new password or just suggest you change your current one.

Re: W.H Ell & Co. The Territorial Shooting Range

Re: Oliver & the Beak

Super sleuthing again Stuart, I don't know how you manage it. I see the basis of the fine was the use of the Corn Exchange. I would have thought Oliver would argue that (as opposed to saying that 'I didn't know it was there) it is a future pay machine, it is not a gambling machine. Not a great ruse ...
