Arthur Davidson helped out many I know . His legal background was a great asset.

When Ken Hargreaves beat him in that cliiff-hanger result , Ken said that he couldn't have had a better opponent .

Ken Hargreaves. 1
Arthur Davidson. 2
Greg Pope (a very distant) 3
Graham Jones, too early to pass a judgement but early signs encouraging.

If only you'd worked a little harder in the past, and been a little less sulky recently, you could have had Peter and Karen's name on that list.

Re: MPs salary & expenses
My only complaint with David Chaytor going to prison is that he didnt have company! Had everything been treated equally and with any kind of rigor, the prisons could well be left with no room imo!

It says in the Sunday Times that one of those fingered for fiddlin' was a 'northern M.P.'

Narrows it down a bit.

(To any M.P. from the northern half of the country.)
