Local regulation.

Agatha Christie, The Murder at the Vicarage:

"The young people think that the old people are fools --- but the old
people know that the young people are fools."

Nigel Guthrie:

.....I feel that  the objectors to a level playing-field  are mostly
rule-makers and directors.....

Richard Hills:

I know that the objectors to bidding boxes are mostly grass-roots Aussie
players, disinclined to changing the habits of a lifetime.

Best wishes,

Richard Hills
