  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC. That's 'Before Computers'. Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all... Archbishop Temple's School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock 'n' Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during 'The Cold War'...and then

    I became 'a family'. Which meant that I sort of missed the 'swinging sixties', but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the 'Thatcher Years' I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 50 years of happy marriage.

From ‘ASBO’ to ‘CRIMBO’.

Posted by Big John on February 7, 2011

It’s been three years since I published this post, about the then government’s ‘gimmicks’ and complete failure to tackle the problem of the yobs on our streets.

It would now seem that although he is now Prime Minister, Mr. Cameron is still living on “planet Dave” ( I wonder if he ever did “hug a hoodie”), for it seems that the useless ASBO is no more, but guess what ! … It’s going to be replaced by another useless piece of paper … The Criminal Behaviour Order !

Ah! but this order is different say the Home Office as it will .. “hit them where it hurts” .. and how are they going to punish make these hooligans behave ? .. Well they’re going to take away their ‘iPODs’ and other ‘bling’ items. (What about their human rights ! .. I hear you cry).

Bloody hell ! .. What a brilliant idea ! … I think that the only people who will “get hit where it hurts” will be the poor sods who get mugged when these mindless thugs …

… seek to replace their confiscated “stuff”.
