Britain's biggest ever bank robbery

[Kinky Gerbil]

We had the old bill on site here at the hospital in H/Heath yesterday as a load of securicor bags etc were found here....

What department do you work in?

 

[Marshy]

Not security !

You've got to applaud theft on such a grand scale, in my opinion.

Yeah, you're right in a way (although kidnapping family members is always wrong).

But who owned this money - they are insured right - they'll probably over-estimate how much was nicked and make a profit themselves.
It probably wasn't benefit money going to the neediest section of society eh?

It's enterprising isn't it - kind of.

I remember the row when they put the cost of a pint of cider up a whole 2d (that's half a groat) to 1s 10d just before decimalisation.

With the organisation to pull off a robbery like that it could be an unemployed football manager?

£ 2 Million reward now been offerred by the insurers.

Nows the time to grass if you know who did it

 

[smudge]

Now, you all know Camp Freddie.

Man and women arrested in Kent tonight in connection with the robbery

Sarf East London and north Kent has always been the unofficial capital of Britain's armed robbers. Villians like Kenneth Noye and the Brinks Mat brigade all came from around here. There are more armed robbers per square mile in this unlovely area than anywhere else in the UK.

If you're thinking of opening a small post office in Dartford - just DONT !

Great British robberies (illegal ones). None of these are coining it like the Royal Family.

Not in Brighton, it wasn't.

Tamplin's Sussex Bitter was 2s3d well before the end of the sixties.

The cheapest post-decimal bitter I can recall was 13 pence a pint -

... was that when NSC was all just fields...?

The cheapest post-decimal bitter I can recall was 13 pence a pint - and I had to travel to Barnsley to find it. [/QUOTE

All Truemans pubs in London were about the same price and mine was outside of Kings Cross Station, The Earl Russel in Pancras Road so it wouldn't have been the cheapest.

Night before decimalisationOrd Cask Bitter was 1/11p, Keg Special which had only just come out in 1969 was 2/1d Tuborg Lager was 2/1d Gin Whisky Rum was 1/8d didnt sell Vodka as it was sold much as was Draught Guinness. Bottled Guinness 1/11 1/2d bottle. Bottle of Carlsberg was the dearest 2/3d

Apparently the little 8 year old son is completely traumatised by the kidnap. I wonder if they would have used their guns if the wife and boy had put up any sort of resistance?

 

[rospants]

two people been arrested now, a woman went into a bank in bromley with 6 grand of cash and tried to open a bank account with tonbridge written on the band

 

[readingstockport]

If you want the latest news direct from my mate they've actually lifted 4 people so far but aren't announcing the 4th yet.

And he says keep of the telly, since he was on it last night his phone hasn't stopped ringing with ex girlfriends and mates he's not seen for 20 years

Yeah, and I liked them KRAYS in the sixties. You was always more saferer on the streets in them days which you aint now.

Or something.

You've been a bit of a cynical little Simster this week, anything wrong? Your missus not putting out or something?
