There are so many excellent, thoughtful posts on this thread that have really helped me to understand this matter.

What has emerged in my mind is that some of the behaviours of the street rep on Liphook Crescent and others have displayed a magnificent lack of political awareness. The behind the scenes machinations of the street rep and others I feel really are unravelling their position as the spotlight is turned on them. I, now also feel, that there is a rising up of good British style common sense that will find an equitable solution.

With this in mind, morning thunder, your post #565 has made my heart glow.

AMFM, thank you very much for providing excellent signposts along the way. Myself, as a legal nincompoop, have found your writing about legal terms and current thinking most easy to understand.
