[UK-CONTEST] REAL REPORTS ?

[Nubsey]

Gawd Struth, Now the data protection guys have found their way into cw and 
ssb contests.
 I assume that health and safety, will be the next government dictate to 
enter the contesting field.
 You cannot send at more than 30wpm without a seatbelt in case you fall out 
of the chair when sending by hand.
73 to all.
Or will big brother find a metric equivalent to that soon as well
