I know our mate Carlton was there not sure about Andy or Cass but I’m sure they ripped him off at one point … maybe a question for part 2 ? Keep em coming Terry

[@terrystone743]

Thanks SPM for the feedback, we are definitely going to be doing a part 2 as we did only just scratch the surface here with Mr Pritchard. Not sure if the security did rip him off as if they had of done I'm pretty sure that he would have mentioned it.

I loved the early rave days sold E’s at all the free outdoor parties and lots of outdoor events never in clubs… the West Country didn’t do the club raves we were too edgy for that we wanted to hear music we didn’t know and new tunes which the club d.js were way behind the south west was unique for this late 80s early 90s…. My prices ranged from free to proper ravers I knew to posh boys from uni for £30s … I made more at weekends than my monthly salary at that time… everybody knew me and I loved it from that led to me selling hash for years then finally high grade weed from Amsterdam and Scotland where it was grown under lights… this is where the strain northern light’s originated…. I could do a pod cast with my stories lol

Knife crime continues to plague communities across the country, particularly affecting young people who are both perpetrators and victims. Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach that combines education, community engagement, and innovative interventions. The AP Foundations has put out a call to action under the banner of the "Who's Next" campaign and developed a seven-step comprehensive plan to shift mindsets and reduce knife crime among youth. By building strategic alliances with established campaigners, DJ producers, Actors, and organizations such as Faron Paul's "Fan Amnesty," DBA Projects' "One Chance," Youth Unity, Factory East, and Fabio D'Andrea. Objectives Reduce knife crime among young people. Educate and raise awareness about the consequences of knife crime. Provide support and rehabilitation to at-risk youth. Engage the community in proactive prevention efforts. Advocate for stronger policies and emergency preparedness.

It was so good listening to someone with such a shrewd mind and an overall blinding geezer. Thanks for sharing.

**Sarcastic Ghetto News Report:** Good evening, folks! In today's top story, we delve into the latest and most unexpected development in the world of crime: women in hijabs have become the best drug runners worldwide. That's right, these modestly dressed ladies have now become the gangsters' top pick for smuggling on the roads. The police are in absolute disarray over this new trend, and it's causing quite a ruckus. At the CCTV headquarters, the scene is one of utter confusion. Officers are glued to screens, trying to make sense of the footage. "Is it her? Or maybe her?" they mutter as hire cars zip by, driven by hijab-wearing gangsters who blend in seamlessly with everyday traffic. The Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are practically useless; these clever ladies have managed to outsmart the system. The footage shows cars, but the faces? Completely obscured. It's a game of cat and mouse, and the cats are losing. Religious leaders are up in arms, inundating the police with heaps of complaints. "How dare you profile our women?" they cry. Good Muslim women, just going about their day, are being stopped and questioned on the streets. "Am I a crook or just heading to the grocery store?" they ask, bewildered by the sudden attention. The line between law-abiding citizens and criminals has never been blurrier. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police are scratching their heads, wondering what to do next. Their usual tactics are falling flat, and the streets are filled with nervous energy. Every hijab-clad woman has become a subject of scrutiny, much to the dismay of the community. The police are caught between a rock and a hard place, trying to enforce the law without stepping on religious freedoms. It's a mess, folks. But one thing is for sure: these hijab-wearing drug runners have taken the underworld by storm, leaving the police baffled and the public divided. God bless the good Muslims, indeed. Stay tuned for more on this unfolding drama!

Another great pond cast Terry. I found the podcast to be incredibly captivating, particularly when Andrew and Terry discussed the intricate details of how the events were organized and executed. Andrew's personal story is also highly engaging; his ability to articulate his experiences is very level headed and captivating I believe it is truly inspiring how he has completely transformed his life and is now dedicated to assisting individuals who have faced similar challenges, demonstrating that there is a brighter path beyond a life of crime.
