" Undermined his credibility " . That was the thanks that the poor deceased Neville got for helping him out over that land. To bite the very hand that fed him.Despicable character.
It's that sort of thing which puts you off liking a family who do things like that. It's already in their minds to do you out of something and get one over on you. PE would have been laughing all the way to the bank.
It would seem that the less well off that you are,the police will leave you alone,but once they get wind of you having a bob or two---------watch out ! It's always been the same with them and their mentality,and yet a lot of them are Masons,who don't appear to be poor themselves. Probably a greed thing where it's criminal to have more than them !
