The Murders at White House Farm Chapter 8

Jeremy told his parents that he was staying with a friend in Colchester, but the truth caused uproar when it emerged. Sue believed the problem lay entirely with June, recalling that Jeremy got on well with his father, whom he referred to as "Matey", and was proud of his work as a magistrate. But Nevill objected to the affair almost as strongly as his wife. Confronting his son with uncharacteristic severity, he warned Jeremy that if he didn't end the relationship, he could expect to be disinherited.

Again, Steve, Thank-you

[Kaldin]

Did she get that from Jeremy or is it hearsay?

[Jan]

I doubt in Maida Vale, even at 1984 prices.

Julie said she bought a flat with her money from the news of the world

[Jane]

I always think of the old grannie who didn't have long for this earth anyway at the time of the murders. It was only a matter of a year or so when no doubt JB would have had a mention in the Will because of him being her " favourite " grandson.
Why spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar ? He wasn't going to blot his copy-book for the sake of a year. I don't believe it at all.

You have no idea how much he may have resented having to be chained to the farm. At his age, a year, trapped in something he may have grown to detest, would probably have seemed like a lifetime.

Many parts of London are much cheaper than Maida Vale.

[Jan]

His shares were worth about £230000 in today’s money . Not as much as I thought but still a fair amount

[David1819]

It's in the CAL book David. You see the background in this case is crucial, not that I'm excusing the murder of five for one moment.

It doesn’t actually say that. It just says his parents were “deeply troubled” troubled by it.

No source is given either.

Farming-office work-factory-retail- whatever job a 24 year old ends up with/in they don't like WORK !!

[Jane]

Can’t you just say you think he wanted the lot rather than posting it as a fact .

Well I think he must have spent 12 months very badly weighing up the risks then . How did he know he was going to be dealing with the keystone cops ?

Jan! You can't possibly be unaware that, whatever the crime that's being planned for, the criminal can't legislate against everything. The unknown can't be legislated for. That has to be the answer for every question you see fit to throw out there.

He did not have to be chained . Only if he wanted to inherit . He could have gone off got a job or something different ?

The shares were not conditional as far as I know . Enough to start his own business if he wanted .

Julie said she bought a flat with her money from the news of the world

Yes but not in upmarket Maida Vale.

[Steve_uk]

Many parts of London are much cheaper than Maida Vale.

Of course they are, which is why you couldn't buy three flats there with Jeremy's money in 1984.

But that’s exactly what I was saying ? Risk against outcome ? You are agreeing with me lol 😂

But they're far more likely to enjoy something they have a vocation for, than something they've been coerced into and have no option about. As you've previously said, MANY 24 year olds have married and have the responsibility of a family. However much they may dislike what they do, it pays bills and puts food on tables. They're probably glad to be in work.

Probably because Nevill had called them Dad's Army on a previous occasion. Really I think I must elucidate a little further on Jeremy's mindset before any more misunderstandings arise.
