He had numerous chances in his life good education, supportive parents, threw it all away and ended up as a drug dealer outside a local school.
Now tell me you wouldn't have done the same?

Still a bit concerned about our moderators friends and family. I have no druggie friends or family. In fact most of my family are/were policemen/firemen/nurses.

Not a drug taker or dealer amongst them.

Do I get a request to be a moderator? Do I f**k

Initially, before we left the U.K, my mate used to grow a couple of cannabis plants in his spare room. To my knowledge he didn't sell it back then, he was a bit of a smoker & gave some to his mates at parties.
At some point since our departure he started selling & realised just how much cash was to be made from his product. A couple of plants became half a dozen then when that room was full he moved production into a large stable block at the rear of the property. Before he knew how deep he was in a local bike gang took an unhealthy interest in his expanding horticultural business.
All the time the wife was aware of where all the cash was coming from. She tolerated the circumstances because she always had money in her purse. She went out one Christmas & bought the youngest child [9] a huge playhouse that sat next to the house, it was filled to the brim with toys & games that the child never really played with as it had a new toy each week.
About a year ago she decided to donate all the old toys to a charity shop. It was while tidying the playhouse that she found [hidden in an old casserole dish] what she now knows to be 5 kilo's of heroin. She hit the roof & finally dobbed him in.
Customs were already aware of his connections with the bike gang, his occupation didn't merit further investigation, they'd assumed he was a legit guy. They started surveillance & when they moved in for the arrest they found automatic pistols in his car boot along with a sawn off 12 guage & enough heroin to supply the average pop star for years. The stable block had over 50 cannabis plants growing in his hydro set up.
He's just been convicted, his sentence eight years!. She's living elsewhere with a new identity. I've known him over 20 years & he's the last bloke I'd have thought would ever end up in that situation.
