I've worked it out!
Have you noticed that it's only the 'regulars' in the area that
claim they've never had a problem????
It's because
Whirly and
Whipping Boy's SATCO (he even admitted as much in the above post) have rigged up an evil device to give us visitors grief. . . I can hear them now, sat there in a field with a pair of binos, a flask of Borders Ale and a laptop with G-INFO installed on it:
"What's the reg"?
"G-XXXX, quick look him up, where's he from"?
"Ah, the South, right Whirly, get out the Pangalacticgargleblaster, let's play with his mind. . . ."
