Just watched on the BBC iPlayer The great car crash con,  it's part of the week in week out series.

You have to watch this, took,excellent police work, insurance companies got a hit, and a whole family got taken to court, but it's the CCTV footage that is brilliant.

Was this the one set in Birchwood Warrington a few years ago???

[biggriffin]

No it's in Wales. Unbelievable

[EMD]

It's in the next valley over from me,they are really posh over there!

[Andy B]

Just finished watching it ..... and not surprisingly they'd scammed a shed load of benefits ...... but didn't get charged because they were already going to gaol 

and just goes to show that 'social media' will get you in the end

Just watched it. Seen similar scams on similar programmes, Birmingham and Manchester are those I remember. Imagine how much insurance premiums could be reduced if these people were stopped.

Good point well made

If we shot all the people I think we should, well, we wouldn't need to be concerned about population growth.

This sort of thing happened regularly in Leeds and Bradford years ago, then the police clamped down on it and it seemed to stop after a few were caught and sent to jail.

Worryingly, I find myself agreeing with you again.

I'll have to console myself with the hope that my list of first against the wall come the revolution is different to yours

Doubt it, Nick. It can't be different, just more exclusive, as mine includes nearly everyone.

Fixed. 

Similarily, energy companies have told us for years that wholesale gas / electricity track the price of oil, which was why they had to keep jacking up the prices.
We all know the price of oil has fallen off a cliff in the last year, but energy prices have stayed exactly the same.
