Map showing the routes of the aqueducts of Rome, some of which were 57 miles (92 km) long. The oldest aqueduct, built in 312 BC, is the Aqua Appia (purple). The Aqua Virgo (red) was built in AD 19 and is still flowing to Rome’s famous Trevi Fountain 2,000 years later.
The Aqueduct routes are from an 1886 base map in G. Droysen’s General Historical Hand Atlas (1886).

Restriction on property we are purchasing
We are currently in the process of purchasing a property (in England) and there were four restrictions on the property Title. Three of these have been removed and there is one remaining. I've provided the wording of this below. Each restriction refereces a court and a case reference number.
>No disposition of the registered estate is to be registered without a certificate signed by the applicant for registration or his conveyancer that written notice of the disposition was given to (name of bank) at (name of solicitor) being the person with the benefit of interim charging order on the beneficial interest of...
This last one is taking weeks and weeks to remove and the seller's solicitors don't seem to be getting anywhere with the company in question. Our solicitor has said that the restriction needs to be removed before the sale can complete because there may be outstanding charges against the property.
Is there any other way of removing this restriction and does confirmatuion need to be received given that the restriction only states that written notice must be given?
Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance!

Question on streaming on two different devices simultaneuosly in the UK
My brother recently purchased a subscription to Apollo TV. My plan to share this with him but I now understand that streaming to two different devices in two different locations is not possible?
Can this be overcome if one, or both of us use a VPN?
Thanks in advance!
