Good Evening Crimewatchers.Good Evening Red Card.Thanks as always for the upload.Time to put my feet up and enjoy tonight's episode !!! Have a great weekend one and all

[@Romanplaystation]

The George Leitch case is a really strange reconstruction, I feel. The brother in law, and the man named Richard in his mothers house are portrayed pretty distant, and cold. Richard especially. It really seems deliberate. We see George 'embarrassing' him at squash, then when he visits his mum, the guy gives him proper daggers. Then when the cop is talking afterwards, he mentions its 'really strange he wasnt seen after Richard dropped him off, he was well known and should have been seen'. Are they intimating that Richard may have been lying? I started thinking 'time to sleep Roman, you're reading way too much into this'. Then I looked up the three men that were charged but released. One of them was named Richard. Theres also a load of stuff about dodgy cops, and the Masons. Oh, and the brother in laws car happened to be blue. Same as the paint found at the scene. This one is an absolute doozy.

Dandruff DNA nets robber 2004 A man was today jailed for 15 years for carrying out an armed robbery 11 years ago after dandruff linked him directly to the crime. Andrew Pearson, 40, of Gipsyville, Anlaby Road in Hull, and two other men escaped with £38,000 in cash after raiding a caravan company in the city in June 1993. The storyline was so irresistible that the advertising copywriters for Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo didn’t even need to sex it up. The half-page advertisement that appeared in papers across the UK simply reproduced a tear-out of an article about the 2004 court case, adding the slogan “Don’t get caught with dandruff.”😂😂

Who started the famous do off at the venue The Bar - surely that was first place George would go after being dropped off, especially if he was organizing the Hen Night. Did he come into his brother in law's place to start evening off at any time that day? Surely his brother in law wondered where he was ? Did George go to the Bar after being dropped off or did he never turn up at all? The Brother in law didn't seem as frantic as George's partner re him not being around, or was George always doing things like this or not turning up till late and the Brother in law was used to it perhaps.

so companies used to pay wages in cash envelopes just like that? (Atlas Robbery) Seems strange to me and an obvious general security risk come pay day.

[@rs-vp7re]

Yes they did

[@zeddeka]

Yup, they did pay like that. People were often also paid weekly - I remember my dad telling me in the 80s how every week you were summoned to the office and had to count out the cash in your pay packet to check for errors. In some places, Men's wives used to wait outside the husband's work place on pay day, and Would take the pay packet off him to make sure he Didn't drink or gamble the money away. Absolutely unbelievable looking back, although that kind of thing was increasingly rare by the early 90s. Things were changing by the early 90s and a lot of companies were beginning to insist on paying to your bank account. Some people of the older generation then didn't have bank accounts (up until the early 70s, it was illegal to pay people in anything but cash, so people of a certain generation grew up having no direct need for bank accounts - cheques could also be cashed in shops. Also, up until around the late 1960s or so, banks charged for bank accounts and you were considered "posh" if you had one - there was a real class divide, so you had a whole older generation of people who had grown up having no contact at all with banks and unless you had a lot of money you didn't need one). The older generation often used to keep all their money in the house - absolutely asking for trouble. I remember my grandmother used to put her pay packet underneath the carpet. Insane.

[@b1ueocean]

@@zeddeka amazing response and insight - thank you very much 😊 had to laugh at the bit about wives waiting outside to save the day and about banks being “posh”… funny how things change and perhaps even more so how some things don’t 🙂

[@zeddeka]

@@b1ueocean no problem! It's unbelievable looking back. My dad still moans to this day about how things were "better then" being paid in cash coz you "knew where you stood". Fairly baffling for anyone younger! I remember everything being paid in cash too in the early 80s. My parents used to spend saturdays on the high street going round various shops paying bills in cash. Maybe one of the reasons why the high street declined - no need to do that these days. Society was so different then, and the 90s were really only the very start of the modern world we live in now, when technology started to change things. You're absolutely right though to say how dangerous all that being paid in cash was - it's one of the reasons violent crime is lower now - so much less cash floating round the system. In the 1970s there were a couple of very high profile armed raids where the payrolls of large companies were stolen on payday - the Daily Mirror and Daily Express newspapers were targets. There was suspicion that corrupt police had been involved.

With hindsight you can say lots of other things would have been better but it's difficult to just make things up on the spur of the moment whilst frozen with fear. If I was thinking straight, I probably would have said "My husband, he's a policeman, & our two Doberman dogs" 😉 Edit to say: At least watching these makes one think about ways to react in similar circumstances. They might just come in handy one day.

@@katiebear you don't really know what you'd do if a knife was being pointed at you. You'd go into shock and may well do whatever you could to make sure the sharp end isn't squeezed any tighter into you, which could have happened had she not cooperated and she might not have been found for days.

@@gargantukPlease get in the queue, matey.

[@gargantuk]

​@LANCSKID Yes, of course. I'm sure that the Detective Jacqui Hames of 1993 is waiting for you. I'll politely wait until you have shown her - via some form of time travel - the absolutely unforgettable time of her life. I'll have to step up my game, of course, if I am to match the level of scintillating conversation you were able to provide her - a mixture of your wit, funny anecdotes and no doubt your innovative suggestions for modern policing in the early 90s and your repeated questioning as to 'what's it like being a woman on the police force?'. If all this, combined with your natural charm and Janet Frazer catalogue model good looks wasn't enough to make her standard police issue underwear eagerly fall from her body - a body at this stage no doubt experiencing sensations and desires never before felt with mere mortal men, then you could always resort to your usual tactics with 'tricky' members of the opposite sex - passive aggressive verbal bullying, gaslighting, implied violence, the surreptitious use of GHB in her drink or just a good old fashioned slap to show who is in the driving seat. So sure, I'll just wait in 'the queue' until you've dipped into your generally successful repertoire - yet another triumph for you in your ongoing conquest against women. Bravo!

Sue is starting to look a bit ropey now. Especially the hair. Not her best look.

[@treasurehunteruk9718]

She was 44, so the years were catching up.

[@user-zr3pj5tk7k]

Never got the obsession with her. Plain looking, desperately changing her looks. An average presenter, as well.

[@gujh03]

@@user-zr3pj5tk7k average presenter ? She was amazing on Crimewatch UK. The pace and detail were amazing and what made the programme so great. Never liked any of the others after her.

[@golgotha3938]

When a woman cuts her hair short she’s given up. Her husband probably wasn’t getting any either.

[@LANCSKID]

She is gorgeous. Anyone who says otherwise will have me to answer to. A very gracious woman.

The actor playing George lietch is awful.

[@mad-pit3832]

In the last reconstruction they describe the leader of the gang as large with a very mauscular build who's going a bit to sea with a beer belly???? what is that???? and the witness saying that same man was more frightened than she was?? what with a shotgun in his hands and 2 friend's with hand guns?. no love I really don't think they were. I hope people are not still as dumb up there.
