Sorry to hear about your bad news, thankfully you have some great CCTV images to help catch the scrotes!

A short update:


- the Head of the school phoned me, confirmed that lad’s identity, implied that he knows the others but will leave that to the police… and is going to talk with the boy and his parents.
- The local bobby has just been to see me. He recognises two of the boys. The one firing the catapult is a problem in the area. The act of firing the catapult is an offence. He has no lives left in terms of slapped wrists, so he’s going to court.
- The picture is going in the local press to get the identity of the third boy and also to generate awareness that antisocial behaviour can be caught and stopped
- The damage is estimated at being between £500 and £1000!!!! It looks like I have a trip to Sheridan Marine, unless someone knows somebody closer to Staines?

Thanks for all the good wishes and help.

Nice one Brendan.

I hope the repairs are prompt and proper too!

Try calling the chandlery Scours Lane, Reading. There's a guy works from there doing boat windows and provides a mobile repair service.

And I sincerly hope the scroats get everything we all know they deserve. (I'd birch the buggers). Like to see their reaction to their picture in the local rag.

Really sorry it happened but quite an unusually satisfying outcome, I guess.

Well done Gavi for catching the little toerags.

You can get glass cut anywhere, but I'd be inclined to contact Sheridan line as he will have the original pattern.
