*NB this thread has been created after speaking to those concerned.
I've been a member on FE for a while now, I have a fair few cyber mates via FME and some I have met in person some I haven't.
A few weeks ago I had a bloody great day out with James, we all know James as a Moderator here. I'd spoken to J a few times on the phone and we finally decided to meet.
The place we met at was a mutual interest 'aviation' not Gambling. Gatwick Airport in fact. We'd had a great day out, some Beers, Pics/Videos of some Planes and during the day a small 'tug' by the ARU as we must have appeared a little 'dodgy' lol.....Got to say they were Gems and they actually told us "Have a good day guys" after we'd slurred why we were there!
James and I had a real heart-to-heart with reference to Gambling and I thought I had an issue, after having spoken I realised that although I have a game fairly regularly I don't go to the extreme.
Here is Jame's Sky News article :- http://news.sky.com/story/govt-cuts-stakes-on-crack-cocaine-betting-terminals-in-gambling-review-11106636
This thread isn't about 'me' but i've had calls and email in the past from Mr Barcrest himself about FME things, and all was pukka at the end.
But James really opened up to the WORLD. Kudo's fella, you'll help MILLIONS buddy.
