What squeaky said. Decent folk will stay well clear.

Does he have a landline? If so try directory enquiries or 192.com

DBF, he will stay clear but he is too close for my liking. No landline silly bugger refused one so we got him a mobile which I have lost the number of.

He'll be fine TLE as long as he doesn't go out. Honestly, what's going on is very contained in a very small area.

I know TLE. It shows the mentality of people, when they are out rioting because a convicted gangster has been shot dead. :(

Scary stuff. I drove along the road where the shooting happened on Thursday about 5-10 minutes before it happened.

I just think they are all anti-police. It's all beyond me, I'm afraid, the attitudes of a lot of people these days.
