I'd always assumed the vet inserting the chip is required by law to fill in details of the owner, as otherwise, what's the point of tagging an animal with a unique ID?<br /><br />Is this another demonstration of state incompetence, inefficiency or corruption?Ed Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-46214039884554660882015-10-22T22:25:25.553+01:002015-10-22T22:25:25.553+01:00Yep definately gypos....Yep definately gypos....Flaxen Saxonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431645401478120921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-87302273351413239952015-10-22T15:52:26.022+01:002015-10-22T15:52:26.022+01:00"Steak & Kidney Lock Openers" - lol!..."Steak & Kidney Lock Openers" - lol!
