Voice from the off:

"Did not. But the referees are still busy discussing whether 'The Heath' 
was meant to denote the area in Uttoxeter, the place in the civil parish 
of Leintwardine, or a golf club near Portlaoise. The latter may actually 
have constituted a legal move even after John's cunning move to the 
Street of Cunning Artificers. Stephen, what is your handicap?"
