Very sad for Phil, what a way to waste your life sitting in jail. I can only assume he may of been a coccaine user too , as it gives you lots of confidence, and lets face it Phil wasn’t shy. Bunk , trailer, wind deflector…doesn’t really matter …them dogs can sniff it a mile off. He may as well of just shoved it in his pockets. Sad thing is there will be guys doing it right now, and tomorrow…and you can’t tell them. They know better.

I wonder if Carryfast has a hoover up before he starts posting on here, it would explain a lot.
hahahahahahaha 
I want to know how they got him at Immingham. Most of it is just trailers.

Probably more chance of a pull if customs ain’t got much to do.
Add in a black mark against someone previously stopped with all them ■■■■.
Also acting on info recived.

Snowman, naive, well of course i am, obviously I have no personal experience of inhaling class A substances, as that is illegal, but I was lead to believe that a line of Charlie makes you feel euphoric and heightens your senses. I imagine that after a sniff you feel pretty good and can become the life and soul of the party.
Sorry for the tone of the post, ive just reread it and it was a bit more confrontational than I intended. Coke can induce euphoria and be life and soul of the party but it can also make an aggressive person more aggressive, if you know what I mean. A bit like alcohol. Some people can take a drink and be a bit silly but harmless whereas others can take a drink and turn into a monster but prolonged use of cocaine alters a persons personality. When I worked the doors I always found people who were high were worse to deal with than drunk people, and you could always tell someone who was a regular user.
I think in limeyphils case he got 16yrs rammed up his arse because you can turn coke into crack and £3 million worth is a lot of crack and that can have a devestating effect. Although I agree fully with your assertation of the sentence in relation to other crimes. You can kill someone and only get 7 years. Rapists get a few years. Child molesters get 18 months. The justice system is truely bizarre

The same as they would of got him any where else, there is still a customs presence there, though its mostly trailers its not exclusively trailers, and unaccompanied trailers require checks too, well I’ve seen unaccompanied trailers in the customs shed at Felixstowe 
More to with Intelligence and a previous history probably
AND he had been caught smuggling over 4 million ciggies, a bit of a knob head perhaps, if he had been nicked once for smuggling the odds were good they were watching this criminal mastermind.
Might have been his employer that tipped them off he was driving for them again abroad in order to distance themselves from his previous antics with the ■■■■.

Think he was probably one of those personalities, like the wealthy city banker types that get caught doing ticket fraud on the train, where they seem to always like to be working some scam almost whether they need to or not.

I’m sure that some people become nasty after partaking in a line/joint/pill/pipe/pint, but they’re usually nasty anyway, they just get nastier.
It reminds me of a saying I’ve heard and used. Instant arse hole… just add alcohol and I’m guessing the same is true of other recreational substances.
I wasn’t aware that crack was a thing anymore, thought it was crystal meth and heroin that were the dying in the stairwell of a block of flats covered in your own vomit drugs these days.
On those I do agree with big sentences, they do wreck the lives of everyone involved and lead to crime to support the habit and they also have a physical addiction which needs satisfying or the user suffers badly. That ■■■■ needs to be kept off the streets and anybody involved with its supply should be locked up and have the key thrown away.
Coke, Es and hash/weed on the other hand are recreational drugs, apart from the odd few, most coke users just stay awake all night talking ■■■■■■■■, drop an E and you just want to dance all night and cuddle everyone and smoking a joint makes you passive, hungry and laugh at really bad jokes, so I’m not in favour of such draconian sentences for their suppliers/traffickers.
However I haven’t been a victim of drug use, apart from having to wait for the sniffers to finish and then having stretch out a leg when having a dump in a pub as they’ve taken all the locks off the doors, maybe if I had suffered worse I would have a different opinion.

Muppetry of the highest order this amount of Charlie goes inside the trailer tyres wrapped in…
I may have said to muchCourse a blowout can be interesting.
Even forty years ago the Customs were letting air out of spare tyres and sniffing it!.

Dipper_Dave:
He should have put it in the dummy fuel tank.Allegedly. .
Now I could tell you a story about that…

The thing that I find wrong in all of this is that Phil has just got 16yrs up the ribs for bringing in a bit of powder, yes it’s illegal, but cocaine isn’t addictive, apparently it’s quite good and you may want to hoover up some more, but it’s not something you need to avoid a painful withdrawal like Heroin.Yeah Cokes fine, just ask Danniella Westbrook
nowt wrong with picking your nose with two big fingers.

Hopefully he can tell us if Rolf is ok.
Rolf is in Stafford tying his kangaroo down!,Maybe he IS the kangaroo?

jeeezzzzzzzzzzzzz.innocence is bliss… 
I’d legalise the lot of it, up to and including heroin, and I’d give heroin addicts as much as they needed free of charge on the NHS. It would cost pennies to supply a heroin addict legally, and if they could get it on the NHS then they wouldn’t be burgling my house to find the hundreds of pounds it costs to get it on the black market.

An interesting argument but I wouldn’t give it away, we need the tax revenue.
Although I would assume you could remember the great binge?
