Leave it out.We’re talking really nasty zb’s at this end of the scale.I was hiding behind the sofa a nervous wreck just watching this.

The reason it was only under his mattress was due to the fact ,it’s a lot harsher sentence if you were concealing the stuff and trying to get it in ,under the bunk its not been concealed .
under the bunk its not been concealed 
On top of the bunk ~~~~~ in the open
UNDER = Concealed

Amazing how many experts on the criminal underworld reside on this forum…Either that or you lads have watched the Godfather too many times recently.Well you’d obviously need to be an expert on the crimianl underworld to know different?
Or just know criminal and mafia films very well to see all the clichés pop up
But basically you’re guessing and assuming everyone else is?
Sorry, my mistake, you’re all experts on the criminal underworld driving trucks. I forgot truck drivers are experts on every single subject. Were you also in the SAS per chance?

Not at all, it’s just rather presumptuous to make a judgement about things you admit you know nothing about assuming everyone is in the same boat as yourself. For example, who here knew limpeyphil was a coke trafficker?

I certainly can’t imagine them trying to prosecute an offence that occurred in the 1980s.… said Rolf’s advisor.
■■■■■■ assault is probably considered to be a little more serious than victimless tachograph offences committed in a foreign country?
Judging the way some obesess over overspeeds and 4:31 driving time, one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.

I know in theory under mattress is concealed ,but in the context of smuggling its seemingly not classed as concealed as we know it ,and that was from a customs officer himself in a port who I know .strange but true

You’d have to wonder if he was perhaps just a little too candid about his activities on a forum which anybody, including UKBA, can access…Yep and we have a thread on here about how you all ran bent in the eighties - think about that the next time your truck is being pulled apart at the local DVSA weighbridge/checkpoint
But the DVSA know that this happened, I’ve had chats about it with them about it on more than one occasion and they just accept that it is something that used to be considered to be fairly normal but is less so now. I certainly can’t imagine them trying to prosecute an offence that occurred in the 1980s.
For some the eighties way of life still goes on
80’s ? Sixties for old ■■■■■ like me. Now where’s the keys to me Foden.

I reckon he’s had quite a few loads home already, no way would anybody risk 30kgs of Charles on an unknown.
If the mob he was working for ever find out about his silly boasts on here and who knows where else, he could find himself getting sliced up inside.
A very silly man, believed his own legend a little bit too much and will now pay a very high price for his stupidity.
However he must’ve been getting 100k for that amount of gear, so three years wages give or take per trip, if he had three trips under his belt before getting captured he has still made more than he could as a lorry driver.
He’s only going to do half of that 16 if he behaves himself and then half of the remaining time on license. I doubt it’s going to be much fun and he better hope that HMC&E don’t find any stash he may have.

I’m sure under the mattress will be the first place they look.
Yeah hiding stuff is not a talent of his is it lol

I didn’t know he was agency either.

Once you start on that road, I’m sure you can’t really go back!
I bet he is ■■■■■■■■ himself now on what’s going to happen next, and probably realises that he is now owned…I was watching the films made about the Essex Boys and Rettendon hit etc on London Live a few weeks ago.Just the actors acting out what happened were enough to terrify me let alone the real thing.
On that note it’s so unbelievable I keep thinking that the Yorkshire Post story is going to turn out to be a spoof paper and a Limey wind up.
I google image searched Rettendon murders and Jesus H Christ got waaaay more than I bargained for how the hell did that sort of stuff get in the public domain?

On Trucknet I just assume everyone is taking bo locks which normally turns out to be the case
In Europe you can buy CS gas pepper spray from the motorway services and truckstops with no problems .
It is illegal to have it in the U.K…
Starting pistols can be bought in Europe with formalities.
I got a tug in Pompey docks , the Customs man said anything to declare of which I declared the starting pistol, he asks why do I have it ?
To scare off cab robbers.
He sent the police to check if it had been modified to fire bullets.
As I was honest, he kept it until I shipped back out to France and gave it back to me.
Years ago cigarettes were hidden behind the illuminated sign on top of the cab, the shape of the cartons could be seen by Customs when driving off the ship.
