They all got plastered in the News of the World, one of the lads' mother's bloke found a video tape that and had hunting on and the idiot reported them. Lol Laughing now but they were getting death threats and the job lot, letters sent through post with razorblades in claiming to be poisoned, bomb threats, job lot, that's the anti's for you, threatening folk with young kids. Expand A lad brought me the same video to borrow before that lad's mothers bloke saw it. Could you imagine what it would have been like if the Internet had been about I know it was bad for them lad's back then with all the unjustified shite they got at the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Expand Yes mate.. be interesting to see out of curiosity. I sent the link to my sister who lives up there and is always out in the Lakes walking, biking and Climbing and what not. She has her Mountain leaders qualification now too. She knows the Lakes pretty well now and was speculating on the location at where the pic was taken and wondered if it was down by Theremere where there's apparently been some activity before. I'm not familiar with the area but this was here description to me earlier! I'm not going to get my hopes up for any conclusive evidence. Just a little 'bump' for the thread! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
