[> [> [> You are not just talking about different states here but different countries and whilst the EU has made things a bit easier, it is still so easy for people to skip the country and start up again on the other side of the border.

[> [> [> [> [> Yes they do know. I have had this discussion with them in the past and they were definite that they did so. Doesn't seem to be an issue to them, presumably they make sure that their dancers are careful -- around him, Sun, Sep 23 2007, 17:46:04 [1]
