    But...hey..don't mind me...I'm from a part of the country where I was suppressing a grin quickly when a woman I was chatting to referred to herself as a "local" in the same conversation in which she had told me she moved here in the 1980s. The quickly-suppressed grin on my part was down to "Yep...it does take a couple of generations here before you can call yourself a local"....and all my local friends grinned too when I told them....

    I'd take 'local' to mean they live in the area, not a claim they were born in this country, or are British. If someone said they were 'local' to me, I'd presume they just lived in or near where I was standing. When did 'a local' mean English/British?

    Am I missing something?!

    You're not missing anything hazyjo. Money does have a 'unique' view of the world which at times some might term 'eccentric'. Does make for entertaining posts though, even when they go wildly off track into seldom visited cul de sac's :D
    It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought.

    That in itself is not a legal requirement. Neither is it a legal requirement to identify yourself during a search, incase a s.60 is in place.

    Recent court ruling stated that the police have no right to demand ID of anyone taking part in a protest.

    The right to privacy does exist, but you have to know about it.

    Yes but it's a waste of ltime not to if you have your id on you. They'll find it when the search you and it would be rude if you tried to snatch it back.;)
