15 December - Court in the act
A
year ago a
Judge sitting in Bromley County Court awarded @tonyofsidcup £1,500 against a
builder who had badly let him down. Costs brought the sum owed to £2,324 and it
was the fifth award against the same company in just a handful of months.
The builder responded by saying he was £98,000 in debt but he would “personally deliver
it to @tony and his family”.
On 11th July the builder’s van was
video’d opposite @tony’s home
and coincidentally an enormous builder’s
hammer came flying through his window and landed on his daughter’s favourite chair.
The police took very little interest until a well known local figure whose
identity @tony wishes to protect (no idea why!) lent support and
even then the case only merited the attention of a part time copper. However six
weeks ago a file was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service who are perfectly
capable of prosecuting truth tellers within a day or two of their alleged offence. Nothing
for @tony yet from the CPS.
