Ronnie Biggs - RIP

[Rhodes]

RIP legend

Yes, spot on

[cup of tea]

Actually  -  NO.

 

He was struck once, and that was after he was offered the chance to 'earn a few bob', and turned it down' !

 

I'm not condoning the violence, but had I been in his position, a 'nice little earner' might have been just somewhat tempting !!

 

Thanks for correcting me Big JR - I didn't know that

All I heard was that he was smashed over the head with an iron bar

Some nice people at the funeral, Hell's Angels etc. He certainly knew people in low places.

They may not be everyones cup of tea, but probably more reliable and honest than those in Westminster that are supposed to be running this country !

[cup of tea]

Well it's a fair point but to be fair it wouldn't take much to be more honest than the people at Westminster!

Looking at two groups, one which habitually fiddles their expenses, the other dealing speed or weed and favouring one over the other is a mugs game.
