Have you read any of his books? He's a cracking author. 

Pleasure of the damned 👍contains some cracking lines. 
Truth is Mark I find his stuff a grind to try and get through, I feel the same about Tolkien and people rave about his books 🤷‍♂️takes all sorts though.

Makes you proud of our wonderful criminal justice system. God help you if you have a bald tyre or your road tax is out though.

As an aside to an aside. I've got a load of big black square plant pots, very much industrial, that I acquired years ago from someone giving them away on a Freecycle type site. They're the dogs plums, tough as. The guy had some kind of close police connection; the pots were seized in a warehouse raid somewhere.

 

 

Modern plant pots are very  inferior quality  plastic compared to old ones.....

 

I have some old ones that have  lasted yrs

 

Make in UK,  congleton & darlington etc I don't  think anyone makes them anymore the same quality?

They are absolutely terrible, modern pots. After a season of UV light they just start disintegrating. It's partly so that nurseries and garden centres have to keep buying them instead of reusing stock. If you are careful and keep them in pitch black they stay usable for years, but as soon as they go outside they're finished.
