    I was stunned the other day - had a conversation with an agent who knew that SSAS and SAS were different things and not simply alternative spellings!

    I got one from a Bob agent for New Bury, which if it's not meant to be Newbury, is an extremely rough part of Farnworth near Bolton, the local pub, The Flying Shuttle, aka The Lying Slut by fiddling about with the sign letters, being perhaps the roughest in the UK. I've actually been in, not knowing of it's poor reputation at the time, excellent chippy round the corner on the precinct BTW.....

    Bob'll fix it?
