Big Al, I have remained as a guest because, being subject by the Police to the sort of treatment we received, is not something I want to disseminate to those who may recognise me on this forum.
The events may strain your credulity but I can assure you it did happen, one reason may have been that one of his friends did have a sizeable amount of money on him, having said that it was two days before Christmas, with which he was going to do his Christmas shopping for friends and family, that was also messed up because it took him severals weeks to get his money back.
I should point out it was only one officer who was extremely obnoxious and to my mind extremely zealous and threatening, during the time they were in our house he accused my wife and I of money-laundering based, I think, on the fact we had a car registration plate in a cupboard, the car was leased to us and was parked by the house, if he had taken the trouble to note the registration number he would have seen it matched the plate in the cupboard, the man was not fit to be in the Police.
