Oh I say! I understand that they fly from that spiffing Croydon airfield which on average has 2 flights per day and is the marvel and envy of the world. Incredible. Air travel is the future, mark my words.

Pfff. Dreadful place

Paradise, compared to the Roundshaw Estate they built on it... with the exception of Farman Way, naturally, a veritable oasis within a concrete jungle
I remember scaffolding poles and kitchen sinks dropped off balconies and walkways, I also remember well when we nicked the main dealer on the estate, in Instone Close, while I was on the SPG. It was a surveillance job so we were all in rag-order when we heard a conversation about him leaving the flat to buy a gun, so we stopped watching and nicked him and his two bodyguards before turning his flat over.
While we were searching it there was a knock on the door and the gun dealer was there asking for 'Dave', the man in question, as he had got bored waiting and was late taking his family out for an anniversary meal so he had brought around a selection, and some video recorders his son had nicked, all downstairs in his car, along with the missus and his son . He didn't twig that our skipper, who he was talking to, was a copper. "Dave ain't 'ere, we've taken over, but show us your stuff." He did, and we nicked him and his wife for the firearms and the son for eight burglaries.
I think he went away for about three times longer that the estate drug lord after his missus did a deal with the prosecution. It wasn't his day.
A real sh1thole estate, that.
