the younger officer would later become an inspector and the captain of the Golf club I was a member of and at the end of season club dinner reminisced about the 4 year old master thief who bathed in the kitchen sink.
had a Riddy that night.
Was also arrested during the Miners Strike
£350 pound fine first offence Breach of the peace. Plead guilty the prosecutor was spouting our defence plea so what was the point but I sat in the court and watched a local guy who smashed shop windows and trashed cars on 1 man crusade get fined £25 in front of me and being the young naive fool lost it when I got my fine from the Judge but 2 hrs self reflection and an apology later was released. Then the Union didn’t pay ma fine so a warrant for my arrest was out so had to go into hiding till it was fun times.
