14.19 – The name of Frank McAvennie cropped up in the comments this week, and today I recieved this email from an anonymous source.
“….I got a job running a warehouse that sub-contracted to the Home Office. Our job was to take all the prisoners weekly orders for sweets, tobacco etc, make them up, security seal them and deliver them to the prisoners for all the nicks up here, and as boss I spent a lot of time in the nicks (with keys – but it’s still weird).
Anyway, the warehouse was based in Durham and most of the workers were mackems (Sunderland fans for those of you that don’t know).Now for some reason that I forget they hate Frank Mac with a vengeance, so his order was ‘abused’ every week.
Packets of biscuits were smashed, dead lighters put in, empty baccy packets – the works. As the rules say that any complaints have to come forward before the bag was opened, he never had a biscuit he could dunk the whole time he was in there!”
heh…poor old Frank.
