Re: Dogs and Outdoor Access advice needed!

You have to keep a dog "under close control", which means a well behaved dog can be off lead. Clearly if livestock is around, you have to be darn sure your dog is well behaved! Where we are, a...

Interesting you say that - for us, the ability to ramble with a 1 - 3 yr old and a dog off lead without running into all and sundry (as is often the case in the busy areas) is one of the more...

Moving money to Canada

I've had a look at the wiki, but it isn't so explicit on this issue.

Re: June/July 05 AOR Meds? (SW, London)

Ours was at Nottingham and we didn't have to pay VAT, although their website does suggest you do.
