Our first ever case involved poisonings in the bar; both of those cases were before the first remodelling, as you put it, I am sure."<br/><br/>OOC The Rugby League World Cup is in England, although the USA and Canada submitted a joint unsuccessful bid to host it. Quite brave as the only professional club is in Toronto who, bizarrely, compete in the European system, with no Canadian players, and, after three years, have made it to the Super League, which also contains a French club, with all the rest from the north of England.
