Right up to the 6th August 1985 and my going home leaving dad to collect the last trailer of rape seed from the combine at 10:00pm and leave it for me to tip and process in the morning. My last words to dad when I left that evening were, “Thanks Mate, I’ll see you in the morning.” I said a “Good night” to mum and Sheila and off I went.
In a way, looking back now, I can see why dad’s call to me prompted my phone call to the police at 03:36am. The reason why I took his telephone call so seriously. I have always felt that it was because I’d tried to ring him back to find out more information and my getting the engaged signal each time I did so. Not being able to call dad back to speak to him may have been part of it, but subconsciously
I’d have known it was serious due to him not using the term “Matey” during our short conversation.Obviously this is not a point to be taken to the Appeal Court, it would mean nothing to them, but to dad and I our 'in' joke was important to both of us on so many levels. In order for me to clear all of our names, I’ve had to try to understand everything, including my own actions and motivations."

Since WHEN did he take the call seriously? He didn't call 999 and it took him 26 mins to call the police and ONLY after calling Julie first. And where did this 'matey' thing come from, this is the first time he's mentioned it and certainly the first time in relation to the phone call. The smell of BS weighs heavily!!
The first paragraph (I feel) is really telling, he's trying to convince people that he left his dad on really good terms and yet BW recognised that Nevill wasn't in the best of moods. Personally, I think it was because Jeremy left his father to finish a job he should have done and Nevill wasn't happy. He made a BIG thing of leaving the farm that day, making sure Len Foakes saw him leave and was aware that Nevill was bringing back the rape seed - there is something about the final interaction between Jeremy and Nevill that just doesn't ring true and I feel there is more to it. I don't believe that Nevill was happy with Jeremy when he left that night.
