There used to be one many many moons ago, and I knew a gentleman who battled for years to get one up and running again. The red tape and bu**##t the local authorities presented him knocked the whole thing on the head. The police were the main brick wall who are still living in a 1960's and 70's time warp! I would looooove to think that in 2009 things have changed....please prove me wrong.

ANSA I think your sarcasm has been lost.....
