      Not me three men were drilling through my front door early morning I woke up and jumped up and opened it ready to face them to stop them damaging my door as police has been through it when I went missing due to being locked out my home n it had been broken into by housing when I lost my key before that n was already not locking properly. Anyway the three strangers scolds me for not putting clothes on as I was in my nightie. They should have apologised for breaking into my home early morning waking me up in a panic not shaming me for not getting dressed while they were breaking and entering
      Anyway they claimed to be from housing n had warrant which I never got such letters to warn or confirm such crap so didn't believe them I am disbaled and need my support before dealing with strangers so I called them n they pulled these men aside n told them to leave.
      Never will I ever allow such crap again I will call the police on any housing worker in future for crimes
      I had two rude workers before come in my home assault me verbally malign sexual remarks and mistreating me and my home and then when leaving one pinned me to the wall and forced kissed me
      I didn't think I had rights due to them being housing but should have called the police not complained to support or housing
      I also has a housing worker come n threaten to break in my door and say he doesnt care if I'm naked in my shower
      Support told me he had Every right to break in my door as he is part of housing n it doesn't belong to me which isn't true n residents have rights to their privacy and home
      I had a housing officer recently come to my home n verbally abuse me
      So I don't trust housing or their workers now a days n won't open to any of them
      Unless I arranged a visit like repairs but really support shouldn't leave me alone or abuse me too

    The security guard murder is really frustrating-you can bet if they had got away with a million quid or more that would still be stories all over the internet today, because they got nothing a man's life is deemed worthless. Only things online about it are a Thames News short video from 1988 & a brief newspaper report where Mr Curtis is not even named.

    The Bowood House burglary, is one of my favourite reconstructions.

Not sure if anyone was ever charged for it and if the property was ever recovered.

    Ah, it’s all coming back to me now - this was the first episode I ever saw, not June ‘88 as I originally thought. I missed the Haverfordwest reconstruction but vividly remember the gruesome discovery of the limbs with the nails bitten down to the quick.
    Annoyingly I cannot find any information on any of the cases featured - nothing on PC Johns attacker, whether Jason Clear was ever found, if Stanley Curtis’s murderer was apprenhended or whether the severed limbs were ever identified. Perhaps others will have better luck.
    Can’t even find anything on the Bowood House heist, although I remember my Nan telling me they had caught the burglars. She lived in that neck of the woods (still does in fact!) and doesn’t miss a trick when it comes to local news and goings-on.

Prior to that she married the boss of the dirty squad & they both had a lot of heat for that as well from the force due to the disparity in age & rank as she was just a PC at the time.

      In England, they're mostly 'fruit machines' because they tumble and nudge on buttons, but, if they have a handle, they are called 'one-armed bandits' too. We never say 'the slots'. We just call fruit trees 'fruit trees', and a juicing machine is a juicer. We watch television on the telly, and we give our nan a bell on the blower. We dip biscuits in our tea, while you dip biscuits in beef gravy! I can't imagine what a Custard Cream tastes like soaked in Bisto. We eat chips with lashings of vinegar, and plonk them next to a battered fish or sausage, while you call crisps chips! We say, "Tomato," and you say, "Potato."

      I am thinking she was likely annoyed at not being promoted-she had joined the police in 1976 & after 12 years was still a WPC which is the lowest rank. While Dave Hatcher who I don't think was that much older than her had already worked his way up to Super & later became a Chief Super. Sadly back then & even today to some extent there is a lot of sexism, classism & racism in the force.
