    You'll remember when the Black Panther murdered Derek in the Post Office then BT. I got roped in for that, for few days I was a suspect. I lived in Baxenden at the time, I was on the early shift that week and walked down M/C Rd into Accy that morning, leaving home about ten past five. I saw nothing untoward and knew nowt about it until I got home. Day after the CID called round and simply didn't believe that I could have walked down into Accy at the time I said and not noticed anything. They wanted to know how I got past the ro@dblocks, I told them I didn't see any road blocks, they said they had the area sealed off by that time, I told them they were mistaken, which didn't go down well. After another two visits because they clearly didn't believe my story they never came back. My guess was, after the original 999 call, they hadn't been as efficient as they claimed sealing the area off, and my story contradicted theirs, but when CID checked it out they found their mates had been telling porkies. Nowt much changes does it.

    It shocked the village to the core sinkov.

    Donald Neilson was one horrible murdering barsteward.

    Derek had two kids and his wife at home when Neilson broke in to the Post Office and Derek was just protecting them.

    It's a very personal story for me and remind me to tell you about it when I come round for the promised tea and crumpets?

    None of this has any relevance whatsoever to our lot who have inherited what seems to be a good half of the United Kingdom purely because they had a silver spoon shoved up their arse.

    Quick question for you OC, would you employ this over privileged clown..?

    BT
    Depends what I’m looking for.

    Sorry but you are spouting complete tosh!
    Please read about the Crown Estates and rethink.

    Who owns The Crown Estate?
    The Crown Estate belongs to the reigning monarch 'in right of The Crown', that is, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by virtue of their accession to the throne. But it is not the private property of the monarch - it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch.

    The Government also does not own The Crown Estate. It is managed by an independent organisation - established by statute - headed by a Board (also known as The Crown Estate Commissioners), and the surplus revenue from the estate is paid each year to the Treasury for the benefit of the nation's finances.

    Of course in a dictatorship everything can be sold and taken by the president or whatever and given to those with a friends and family card.

    You are only telling half a story Colner, I will fill in just on one of many you have missed out.

    "The Queen cannot do what she wants with the Duchy – it is managed and run for her – but she receives all the net profits, which in the financial year ending April 2013 amounted to £12.5 million".

    My hands have gone over my ears, it's all bollox to me - we are still living in a phooking serfdom!

    Windsor Castle, Sandringham, Balmoral and Buckingham phooking Palace and God alone knows how many other piles this shower of s-h-i-t-e actually own.

    Meanwhile we have thousands upon thousands of UK citizens homeless, it's phooking madness!

    On another note, where does all the POPPY Money go?
