Notes
- Wherever possible the same paragraphs have been maintained except in some very long ones where it helped comprehension by breaking it in to smaller parts
- All fractions have been converted to decimal so they are presented more clearly on the screen
- The '£' symbol has been used before the amount rather than the italicised 'l' placed afterwards
