What is going on everybody, this is TGA, and in today's video, we're at Tata Steel, Port Talbot Steelworks. Only came down to cover a story on the closure of the blast furnaces really, and end up with the police threatening to arrest me, I do have work outside of auditing, and did not want an arrest to interfere with it, which is why I used the duress card. Anyway, enjoy the video!

I think I have mentioned this before to you. Why don't you register with land registry and print out the land owners details and map, called the title and register. Its quite cheap to do.

@A2Z1Two3. He WAS wrong! The following Gov.uk webpage states, " it is a condition of your licensed status that you wear the licence where the front can be seen at all times when engaging in designated licensable activity unless you have reported it lost or stolen, or it is in our possession. The exceptions to this are if you can demonstrate that the nature of that conduct on that occasion requires that you should not be immediately identifiable as someone engaging in such conduct. On such occasions you must carry your licence on you and be able to produce it on request. This allows store detectives or close protection operatives to perform licensable activities without the need to be identifiable. This cannot apply to vehicle immobilisers." www.gov.uk/government/publications/displaying-a-front-line-sia-licence/displaying-a-front-line-sia-licence
