I hope you don't have any guns.
No disposed of years ago.
I once had a Savage seven shot pump action shot gun hidden in my loft.
Why?
I have no idea now and had no idea then what I was getting into.
The weapon had been smuggled through Manchester Airport in bits over a few months and reassembled in a house in Wilmslow not far from the airport.
A really nice guy called Sid arrived at my house with it explained about the airport and the reassembly but the police knew about it could I hide it for a week or or two?
He chose me because I was in a completely different world to where the police expected the weapon to go.
I said yes thinking if it all goes tits up I end up being the owner of this brand new powerful bit of death and destruction and I'll be able to move it to a number of places.
After about a month Sid comes back... Sid worked for the Manchester Evening News came from a very nice family lived in a very nice part of town and was in a bit of a panic.
The police had had him under surveillance for a while to do with drugs.... different police than the ones wanting to find the weapon.
But the different police had crossed each others paths for some reason and the weapon may now have gone to.... ??????
He needed to sit in my loft for half an hour dismantle it and take it away.
Get the fucking thing out of here was my response.
He actually handed it in to the police which he didn't tell me he was doing till he'd done it but under a big threat of we know you came into possession after it was reassembled get it back or we'll bury you.
As far as I know I never came up on the radar but it was a hell of a weapon and I can't believe I was foolish enough to have it in my own house!
I can turn the events over in my head and I cannot think why I behaved so stupidly but the weapon was taken out of circulation and Sid faced no chargers and like I say I didn't come up on the radar.
Cue guest I'm talking bullshit.
OK.
