I've always thought "Plot For Sale" sounded a bit subversive. Along with the mildly disturbing "Heavy Plant Crossing" of course. Reply to this message | Report message

New Sun 27 Feb 11 21:22   Scary Signs - Iffy

...Best news i've heard in ages, thanks Iffy... Just out of interest.... Frankland is one of only a handful of what the prison service call dispersal prisons, or category A prisons, for the nastiest of men. All inmates will be serving a minimum of four years, most a lot more, including many lifers. The other cat A prisons are: Belmarsh, south east London/Kent; Manchester; Full Sutton, near York; Long Lartin, near Evesham, Worcs; Wakefield; Woodhill, Suffolk; and Whitemoor, Cambs; not far from Pat in the Fens. I think I've got the locations more or less right. Talking to the governor of Frankland a few months ago, he told me the place is full of Muslim terrorists, many of whom are what we in the North East call workie tickets - they are always pulling some human rights stroke or other. Mixed in with that lot are the likes of Ian Huntley, Charles Bronson and sundry other murderers, rapists and high-level drugs dealers. Some of the prisoners are quite elderly, and we often hear of inmates who die in the jail in their sixties or seventies. Typically, they might have carried out some horrible, but long-forgotten, crime 30 or 40 years ago, but were never paroled for one reason or another.

So long as Huntley and similar are in a form of hell, that's good enough for me...hopefully there's a real hell waiting to welcome them in the fullness of time. Reply to this message | Report message

And strangely, the most forbidding of them all, Dartmoor, is now a cat C. Belmarsh is where they stick all the politicals. Last edited by: Zero on Sun 27 Feb 11 at 22:10 Reply to this message | Report message

New Mon 28 Feb 11 06:46   Scary Signs - Pat

Whitemoor was originally put to the locals as being a Cat C prison and despite some local opposition it got the go ahead. During the time it was being built, it changed quietly to a Cat A and we could see that was being planned from the building work. The escape from there was scary, I was living in March then and only a mile from the prison. There are a lot of us who hear the Police helicopter still to this day, and think it has happened again. The Woodcock Enquiry makes some interesting reading if anyone is interested. www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm27/2741/2741.pdf Pat Reply to this message | Report message

It seems the signs at Vank also walk....it's a British thing ! Frankland ? Pah...luxury ! I hd to go into Risley a couple of times in the 70s to collect someone for court. It was a remand centre then, some of the inmates were innocent men. The place was awful. Men in the yard collecting poo parcels which oher inmates had chucked out of the windows in the night ! No wonder it was the suicide capital of HMP at the time. The staff lived in a kind of ghetto up the road.....a small housing estate surrounded by a high fence with one road into it. Then again, Pontins at Southport ran it a close second. Our company held a few annual recovery shows for our agents there off season...usually pouring down with a horizontal gale off the sea !

>> The sign frequently goes missing Searching on google images for the Austrian village beginning with "F" and rhyming with "ducking", returns pictures of street signs from Penistone, Intercourse PA and the road in Shepshed which attracts coachloads of American tourists - Butt Hole Lane. I understand the Austrian village has now invested in a 1 tonne rock engraved with the name, to make it harder for the Brits to steal. Reply to this message | Report message
