If you don't vote you are entirely to blame for whatever government we get. People have fought long and hard fir democracy and we are lucky to have it.

Well that to me seems to be a totally separate issue. As has been discussed before, winnings here seem to fall into a grey area somewhere between 'trading' and non-taxable winnings such as lottery/betting. I think without some sort of test case being heard, it would be difficult to surmise either w...

Sadly the site doesn't seem to have been updated for a few years and most of ...

Waterloo and surrounds, over the river to The Strand, plus Paddington station. Two old venues (one at each of the stations) had either closed or physically disappeared but I didn't include those in the count of lost machines.
