Was Your Coach Ever Turned Over By The Squad

[spike1]

Coach organised by Gray Weaver from Chesterfield to The Casino. Stopped just outside Wigan on a quiet stretch of road. Everyone stuffed their gear into some bags and threw them through the Sun Roof on the Coach. Sent on our way with a warning even though they found sod all. Pulled in at the Casino Car Park and the bag was still on the Coach roof Result !!!

Terry do you remember the coaches that we used to run from clay cross very naughty

Remember a few incidents with the drug squad but the most memorable one goes as follows,we`d been to sammy`s to the allnighter one friday and there was a lass(Julie mappin) who had a organised a coach the next night going to wigan. in them days we used to go straight from sammy`s to faulkners snooker hall on cambridge street to pass a couple of hours on till the crazy dazy opened at dinner and then straight on to whatever nighter was on the next night. the pick up point was fitzhalen square in centre of sheffield. as we were getting on the coach we noticed the drug squad opposite side of road( everbody knew them and the cars they drove round in) taking note of everbody getting on coach, thought we were going to get busted there and then

but know nothing happened which we all thought was really strange.so we set of to wigan when we pulled into car park in wigan all hell let loose as soon as coach pulled in we were surronded by police and the drug squad well i have never seen so much activity go on inside a coach in about 30 seconds, think you know what i mean, the drug squad got on coach and sat on the coach while we were driven to wigan police station were they made us wait for about a hour before they searched us all, of course they found nothing,they said to all of us they would be waiting for us to board the coach the next morning were they would interview us again. knowing this everbody apart from julie mappin got lifts elsewhere either car or train.we had many close shaves with mr pont and mr devere over the years, Happy Days

do remember Dave Negus brilliant mad asa hatter,but great fun to be with ,when he was battered by the ol bill was for tipping a oz of powder over bullocks head,and as the ol bill battered him he was said to have died from the servere battering and its true the surgeon who wasthere on somthing else witnessed this jumped on top ov Dave to protect him and was also injured from the frenzy of blows,Dave Negus R.I.P.,

Dave Negus ,legend The King of caps and pills ,he must have got untold thousands from doctors in his career.R.i.p Dave everyone who knew you as a mate loved you and you were badly missed when you went,moderation ,the word was never in your vocubalary Dave,a life lived to the fill,you sure did do it your way.

As this is being revisited....anyone on the GLOUSTER coach run by either....sean & sharon DYKE or steve SMITH that used to stop at the CATS on the way....One night famously as we were heading up the M.6 towards HILTON PARK...a police traffic car stopped the coach a few miles before the services....which resulted in blind panic amongst the occupants...you've never seen so much gear being crammed into mouths by so many people.....the coach duly pulled over and the driver to our astonishment was givin a bollocking for,would you believe it, driving to fast....after which we were allowed on our way with a cheery goodbye from the two coppers....End of story,or so you would think........10 mins later we pulled into the services only to be surrounded by police with vans,cars,dogs and even W.PC,S....little did they know we'd been stopped 10 mins earlier ......as the inspector got on ....first one then two and so on people started to sing the mint cracknel song "give me mint cracknel" "l don,t care" "give me mint cracknel" "l don,t care"......"IT'LL TAKE THOSE BLUES AWAY"...by this time we were all off our trollies,we were all searched and they never found a thing.......and all thanks to the two friendly traffic cops 30 mins earlier..........ANY ONE ELSE REMEMBER BEING ON THAT COACH............tezza

I think that is what killed Dave in the end was the severity of the beating given to him by the police under bullocks direction,they took him to court the next morning on a stretcher and wanted him remanded and would have been if it wasnt by the intervention to the majistrates by the until the day before but now resigned police surgeon.The charge against Dave was eventualy",dropped",as he later told me in exchange for him not going ahead against them.I would sure have liked Dave to have still been alive sitting with the group of people laughingn while reading in the Evening telegraph that Bullocks house had burnt down.

does anyone remember the at wigan one time when two bods was going round making out they was D.S.[dog shits] and trying to take gear offa the lads like,them about 3am the lightcame on and the DJ said about 2 bods,you see a gap open up on the dance floor and two bods making a run for it ,the whole crowd seemed to close the gap and danced on the heads ov them DOG SHITS,

Impersonating the ds is niot a good idea in more ways than one ,first you are ripping people of for their gear or cash and that on its own desrves a kicking.Second there is always paranoi and loathing and hatred for the ds at events such as all nighters back then (dont know so much about now)with the ds seen as bastards out to spoil it all .stop it if they can and while they are at it even try and do get folk sent to jail when they nick them.People know who the real ds are when they are seen at nighters and most folk harbour an urge to beat the shit out of them but thats as far as it goes harbouring the desire to do it its that old story the real ds hide behind the badge.Irecognised positions of authority,roles if you like influence how people interact.generelly coppers get away with out getting a slap considering how verbally and physichaly aggressive they can be down to the badge and the warrant card There over time had developed a norm that having the role of a copper means being treated in a certain way,they can and do push around and shove people in certainn situations and get away with it..Now these low life blights on the scene ran a huge risk when the stone they hid under overturned exposing them tto all the venom folk would have for being ripped ,this relaese of venom resulting in a sever beating them, they get a surrogate kicking that you would like to give the squad for always trying to phuket your funup by trying to get the nighter closed and nicking your mates so this extra savagery driving a beating combines with the first when they are exposed.A false policemans lot when the ballon goes up is not a happy one?????

All in all not a good thing to do,if youre caught youll get the combined kicking of that for being a rip off and that folk would love to give the real ds if they could.Therefore they can expect a feeding frenzy type beating to result in such situations when theyre exposed , and rightly so!The false policmens lot when the stone they hide under is overturned will rightly so be not a happy one!!!Only a fool would want it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
