That holidaying judge story is an odd one. FFS how hard can it be. Do all title transfers stop over Xmas? Does the whole country take a midday siesta every day? Jeez, no wonder Western democracies are in decline. I have to laugh at what is happening in the USA as well - with Trump threatening to shut down the Government for as long as it takes for him to get his bloody wall. No wonder China is doing so well.
I have to laugh though at the advertisement I am getting at the top of my HC page - "Say Goodbye to Rodents". Maybe they are talking about shorters... in which case I would be happy to buy!
