Can't see them going that far. they would expect you to prove it was! as with everything in this country guilty until proven innocent!
colr6 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 What's the relevance of 1988 to anything, why use that as a cut off date ?
RWL81P Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 why 1988? i thought it was 40 year same as tax? 1978
colr6 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Posted October 20, 2017 Could be wrong without reading it that mods carried out before 88 would not count
