Neville & Jeremy. The last blazing row ?

[Jan]

ADAM must have read this then - as it is in WIlkes book .


So original source is the Mirror

wonder what date .

I found it from one of your old posts



"Hi April,,I've just found reference to the £40,000 cheque in Wilkes's book. Page 156 if anyone's got the book.
Apparently it was splashed in the front pages of the Mirror newspaper, " The Bambi Bloodbath----Murder or Suicide ",the paper reported that Sheila took hard drugs and owed two notorious drug barons £40,000. ",unquote

Gee,thanks Jan. I've been going blind looking for it and was up to page 151.

Colin comments about the rubbish that was written about Sheila - I think this is probably one of those articles that he was talking about.

I have not read this. Must have missed it if it is in Wilkes's book.

Hard drugs. Neville and June must have been sending her lots of money. No wonder Jeremy was jealous.

£40,000p, that is a big debt. The 'notorious drug barons must have been in a generous mood to allow her slate to build up so much.

The Mirror. Is that the paper that put on the front page about Neville calling the police ?

Jan, thanks for that. I do recall it being said. At the time it happened there was something new and darker every day in the red tops. There was a HUGE element of "Look folfs, this is how your supposed superiors REALLY conduct their lives". Many of us took much of it with a pinch of salt. The house I moved into in 1985 cost £17,000 so that VAST amount of money spent on drugs would have been  beyond comprehension.

What about some of Colins' rubbish ? His mysticisms and robins  ?

What about the fact that he lost his children? Perhaps his mysticism helped him through it?

April,times have changed as regards drugs being obtainable at next to nothing nowadays.Though some,cocaine/heroin,still demand high prices for the " pure " stuff,hence why there are STILL suicides over drug debts,particularly when the barons send out the shooters to retrieve the debt.
In the 80's,drugs weren't as freely available and people DID pay a high price. Drug wars existed in Essex even then.

There is this misunderstanding that I have seen repeated. The robin thing didn´t generate from Colin - it were the relatives who told him that while they were at WHF discussing which window Jeremy might have exited through, the scullery window or the kitchen window, a robin flew into the kitchen and shat in the sill of the kitchen window. So they decided it must have been the kitchen window he left through. (!)
Colin had nothing to do with it other than talk about it in his book.
I think the relatives made this up to reel in Colin to their side, them knowing that he was into mysticism. I think they were laughing at him - and then dumped him completely after the verdict. He was very hurt by that. Not so nice people it seems.

Yes,of course it was the relatives,sorry about that. Forum driving me mad. Enraged me.

I agree Caroline - Just because we don't agree with his ways of dealing with things does not mean it did not help him.

He does admit his errors in the book several times .

Still found it a strange book though -but I am halfway through reading it again to try and get a grip on why he spends so much time defending Sheila when she was by default found innocent.

Does it give any ore details ? How did the Mirror get the info?

[Jan]

do you remember the bit where the relatives also told him Jeremy had been going round the village dressed as a woman? Also how they refused to let him see Granny Bamber - which upset him quite a lot.

You don´t have to say sorry!

I think 'maybe' he still feel a certain amount of guilt about how things turned out. That's the way I interpenetrated it anyway.
