Manfrom Mars,

The article from the Dover court is really long and a dispute over land. I can transcribe it later in the day for you if no one else answers this post.

NanaSue,

The British newspapers archives were on GR before they were on FMP. When they were first on here you could only print a copy of the article and couldn't save a copy to your computer as a pdf etc. The only way to save a copy was to take a screen shot and it was very cumbersome.

Now I don't have access to the archives on here at present but today I discovered on FMP that you can save a copy as a pdf to your computer. It would be interesting to know whether you can now save an article using GR,
