Hi bg if you read wikipedia it has this to say After school, Bamber managed to persuade his father to finance a trip to Australia and New Zealand, where Nevill paid for him to do a scuba diving course. While in New Zealand, he reportedly broke into a jewellery shop and stole two expensive watches, one of which he gave to a girlfriend back in England. He also boasted, according to Powell, that he had been involved in smuggling heroin overseas. One of his cousins later said Bamber ended up leaving New Zealand in a hurry, because friends of his had been involved in an armed robbery.
This piece is from claire powell a well known writer patti?

Although wiki is good for general searches I would never trust all its contents to be cosha.  The general public do the write ups...

There is absolutely no evidence to back up the story of theft ect....It is all hearsay!  :) :) :) :)





I know...I was being sarcastic! ;)

Fair point that patti, but surley these writers would be libelous if they are making things up?


Hi Ralph :)

Hope all is well  :D. Get your snow Mobile out Ralph, it is on its way so they say!

In my opinion books are books Ralph and, they are like newspapers. If a writer is going to sell a good book the author has to present it with factual documents, otherwise it will never be a best seller.  My book is full of facts and documents.  :o :o It is based on history, so it has to be 100% factual, otherwise historians will just have a field day.....lolol  It is no different from that of a crime novel....it is no use making things up. A good writer will produce evidence and speculate around that evidence. When there is no documents to back it up with, one has to think this is rubbish, its all make believe.  I don't doubt that some evidence is presented in their books, but I do think we should not treat them as being the actual truth.  :(

I do want to read all the books eventually, but I want to  read the actual documents, that were presented at trial...Me thinks that will take forever lolol  :) :) :)

Hi Patti

Yes, I see we have snow coming too either tomorrow or the next day.....you first I think. ;D ;D

Lovely to see you.  Thank you Maggie and, yes I am still working on it...but, this case takes my away from it...I sometimes wish that the computer would blow up and all I had was a pen and a note pad....I do bits on it occasionally...the book already has a sequel..lol  My grammar isn't good and my spelling is atrocious...it will cost a fortune to have it edit/proof read....

The weather is unreal maggie, first it is 14% at 7am in morning and today in my car it was 2%....If ever the weather had a sexuality, it must be a woman hahaahha  :) :) :) :)

Nah patti snow stopping at renishaw and sunshine at staveley, your right about writers making things up, but when it comes to accusing someone of something and they had not done it, just a bit risky dont you think?

Hi Patti

my son has been writing a book for 2 years now and I wonder if he will ever get it finished as well as holding down a very stressful job he did a degree at Glasgow University so the book was put on hold but I am sure he will get there in the end.  Time is his problem.  How far are you with the book.  I know you are a busy lady but you will get there in the end.  Are we all to have snow I do hope not makes me cringe the thoughts of it.  Nice to chat back to Jeremy :)

I'll snowboard down Eckington Hill to bring you some supplies, if it gets bad...:) 

I think one has to be careful when accusing someone of something Ralph, if there is no proof to back it up........I will PM you in a bit, just off to make a drink and put pots away.  :) :) :) :)

I have many chapters, that are not in order......many paragraphs that need to be fitted into chapters....If truth be known a book could be thrown together with what I already have...but it lacks excitement in the naughty bits..lol   ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
