No slap on the wrists this time. Would have been better for Spindrift to mention than though. pk

Levy's picture is in the report, he won't be able to hide long. OT, I wonder if that's a traveller name?

Now they can use these specially created less serious offence, especially as there is less of a burden of proof required, although they do carry lighter sentences. -- Matt B
