The bedroom phone, phone calls & Neville.

Jeremy was earning £170 a week which was a fortune back then. A house funded by his father,,so why did Jeremy want more.? He knew he was well off,plus his old grannie died the following year,so he wouldn't have had to have waited that long for a boost to his savings.I think he had a couple of thousand in the bank anyway.

Absobloodylootly- but I think there were others (not his sister) that weren't too happy about that

you totally amaze me.  How do you know Jeremy hated working on the farm you are in a minority on that theory.  I seem to think you made reference to Ralph Bambers age of 61 being old so how do you think he would have carried on running the farm for another 15 years he would have passed that on to Jeremy much sooner. You are obsessed with this money. Plenty to go round Ralph Bambers assets would increase in 15 years not decrease.

Adam  sorry I missed  part of your post.  Jeremy had no bills to pay other than groceries which would be minimal as he had meals at the farm.  He would provide food etc for Julie remember when she threw a bar of soap at his head in the supermarket quite a lady of tantrums our Julie.

Morning Susan..Jeremy knew which side he bread was buttered on as regards taking an interest in farming. He'd have seen it as a job for life,,and he'd have been " master of all he surveyed ".
Taking into consideration that he was only 24 at the time,,and an immature one at that,,the tragedy would have shocked him to the core deep down,and he'd have found that he'd gained such a huge resposibility overnight.
Nobody made allowances for his state of mind at that time,,they were too busy looking at his every movement to try and pin-point the least little hint that he could be " putting on his mourning face,,pretending to cry,,looking to see how others reacted,etc etc " absolutely disgusting. After all their " surveillance of him,,none of that lot looked as though they were in mourning,,too busy concentrating on what Jeremy was doing.

It was absolutely ridiculous how certain people were watching Jeremy like a hawk and making notes how pathetic they should have being trying to help him not hinder him.  I cannot imagine how people at a funeral can spend their time looking to see how certain people react we are all different and act differently in different circumstances.  Poor Jeremy was just out of his depth methinks.

Susan,,I just thought how disgusting they all were,,watching his every movement,,and the press present as well.I couldn't think of anything worse at a time like that. No compassion was shown towards a young man who'd lost his entire family. Then the nit-picking began----------------------

[susan]

lookout Jeremy could have done with you at his side to fight his corner he did not have anyone really certainly not Julie she was just interested in Julie maybe Brett helped him but he was wrong for having Brett has a friend he could not do anything right,

[maggie]

I believe Brett Collins has loads of answers to questions so often debated on the forum. Wonder if he ever reads it? Would love to hear his side of/the true story. Have always believed he'still in touch with Jeremy.

[susan]

Maggie maybe you will in the near future.

Maggie maybe you will in the near future.

I wonder if Jeremy would ever consider going to New Zealand after he's released ? He'd be better going there than staying in this country.

[susan]

lookout  think when Jeremy is released he will stay where he knows. He has many friends now and local people are much more pro Bamber than they were.  It will be really scary for him having to start again everything will be so strange but he will have so much support this time round not like when he was 24 years old.

Absobloodylootly- but I think there were others (not his sister) that weren't too happy about that

I think we're touching on, what I believe, is the reality of "others" feelings towards a nonbiological, younger  interloping family member being so favoured over those with more natural claims.

So sorry to digress from this thread that the Topic title (the Bedroom Phone, Phonecalls and 'Neville'.) has been veered from, but has any Member( apart from 'Hawkeye' Grahame),noticed that the Number of Days of JB's Imprisonment is not now being shown? Is this merely an oversight, or are there any other connotations?
