[/ QUOTE ] Not sure if I could walk it in an hour but I could get on the central line at High St Kensington and be at the barbican/Farringdon in about 20 mins. Remember to keep some for the cab home if you bubble. |

Subject to the following provisions of this section, no gaming to which this Part of the Act applies shall take place where any one or more of the following conditions are fulfilled, that is to say— (a) the game involves playing or staking against a bank, whether the bank is held by one of the players or not; (b) the nature of the game is such that the chances in the game are not equally favourable to all the players; (c) the nature of the game is such that the chances in it lie between the player and some other person, or (if there are two or more players) lie wholly or partly between the players and some other person, and those chances are not as favourable to the player or players as they are to that other person.

Would this prosecutor argue that a coin flip before an athletic contest to decide who kicks off or defends what goal renders those games a matter of chance ?) [/ QUOTE ] chess, checkers, and tic tac toe would seem to be much better examples. |

It's irrelevant now anyway - Derek Kelly was found guilty today.
BBC News - Gutshot Result And just as I'd blown the dust off my good walking shoes. |

Jury found him guilty in under two hours, suspect they may appeal.
