Thanks for posting those Mark

I wish I could figure out the two words after the anmes of the first two Bretons at Illogan...

I wonder why the aliens had to be lsited, even tho' they always owned 'nil' ? Maybe aliens could not be taxed?

If you get a chance Mark, take a look at my post about the above Lawrence Renold on the Gwithian board and give me your opinion...
