I would just like to make a public thank you to Graham Sleight, aka Slinger.
last March, just as Graham was arriving at my house, a thug on a motorcycle assaulted me, headbutting me and causing ABH with a weapon........his crash helmet.......
I haven't said anything about this to anyone on here until today as it was obviously going through court and as such subject to sub judice'........
but today, after a long day in court waiting for a court room and a judge to become available, and a switch from Crown Court in Lancaster last night to Preston Crown court, this thug finally pleaded guilty to all charges...................and having apparently had a list of similar assaults not going the whole distance because of lack of people willing to stand up to him, he is now awaiting sentencing, and the judge said that this would be a custodial sentence.
It was touch and go as to whether this case would go ahead today and talk was that it would be put back till next spring, just prolonging the stress.........graham stood by me and said to my barrister that he was quite willing to come back...........and for all his support and our chats about model boats to ease my stress today, I THANK YOU GRAHAM.
And what was the cause of this thug's assault on me............I had forgotten to cancel a left hand indicator on my car and when he decided to tail gate me on his scooter, I flicked from left to right indicator to drive down our street and he went ballistic.
Promise graham, next time you call, everything will be quiet and peaceful.
cheers, matey. neil.
