    I’m sorry Ivan but this is just too funny – an auctioneer? Could FF not find a developer in the area?

      Any person who gives honest dedication to their career, works seven days a week at it, and gives local employment while doing so, should feel no obligation to defend following up on their qualifications, or on their political beliefs. This is at the core of democracy. Did you yourself have to send in a P30 for 15.02.2011 or do you provide any jobs? N.C
