Happy Corner 1999

PICTURE GALLERY
Some of the 'boys' you'll meet at Happy Corner, running the shops and being friendly.
Hotel policy since 1999 means they must close at 8.00pm, this has affected their trade and the Happy Corner atmosphere !!

Billy, Lamin and Billy's Brother
Lamin decided to leave GTS in December 2000 but now claims the equivalent of a third of GTS having made no contribution - court case continues.
