I didn’t get to see 1992 at the time, though I was smoking my way through the radio coverage on an overnight coach!

Personally, I want an explanation of what difference the location of the transformation makes to the transformation of the location and whether or not strategic operations are needed to deal with any such difference

I am just old enough to remember stories that varied on the same theme during the debate that raged between the rates revaluation and the introduction of the community charge
