There would be no need for a warrant because they would, most probably, already have ...

Cowboys quoted an elderly couple £170 for cutting down a tree in their garden, then quadrupled the price to £700 after the job was done.

It is for the cyclists to wheel their bikes up or down the very steep incline. They have one in Bideford on the Tarka trail but very few cyclists use it as it is very difficult to wheel your bike and keep control of it down such a steep gulley - I know as I have tried but only once!

Must carry weapons for self defence.

A bomb maker who was found with a 'viable' device in a safe in his home has been sent to a psychiatric hospital indefinitely after a judge was told he is not a terrorist. The order means he will be treated at Langdon Hospital in Dawlish and cannot be released without the agreement of the Ministry of Justice.

I was told last week by GWR that the first wave was built in Japan and the second wave is being built in Italy. As long as they are not of the same design as the original Virgin Voyager trains then the waves crashing over them should not be a problem. Time will tell...........
