- amen to that, John. Having sat on a B of I which doubtless failed to research ALL the nooks and crannies - BUT DID NOT COME TO THIS FINDING - it is amazing really to think that if the R O's verdict had been in keeping with MOD policy at the time AND this come to a different finding, most of us nasty obstinate folk would go away. Not to say there is not an apparent grievous mishandling at the highest levels, of course.
