Reviewed - fab transcription btw! Made some very minor edits & think it's ready to complete -@siobhanleachman
Yes. Bracketing can become very confusing in Walsh, as he sometimes has insertions within insertions (!) or strikethrough/underline/insertion all in one phrase. Also, don't forget ^ when he uses it. Well done.
