    Thanks Jen.

    Even if it goes to court, which i have a deep feeling it will, my boss said I should have a fair shot as I have been taking pictures of everything since last September (blimey i cant believe its been gonig on for 1 year :eek: ).

    And as I work for Surveyors im sure they will take on my case, so thats good.

    Ah well, I have written a letter, just waiting for my boss to OK it, then we shall see what happens.
