looks like a traveller to me
they specialise in shite like this
the thing is he will only get done for fraud or money laundering and will get 3 years and serve 9 months then 9 months on a tag
I would like fellas like this to be branded with "scum" branded on their foreheads

speaking of conmen ,I went to look at a wall tonight
retaining wall about 750 high built in LBC chilterns single skin no weepholes
the *gardener* that built it took the money and said he would return to put the pier caps and coping stones on
that was in october

LLL :angry:
"what,you want paying today??"

How the hell did he manage that? If he only gets 3 years then there's something wrong with our justice system.
