conman - I can't remember if his wife was there, but I'm also  pretty sure Harold Shipman's service also took place at the same church and for the same reason

Many moons ago my working life started with a glazing company. Whilst I was never going to spend my days in a van the apprenticeship I was on meant you had to do a spell in all parts of the business so I had a few months of actually doing the glazing job.

Our patch was Gloucestershire with a bit of Worcestershire and Wiltshire thrown in. Anyhow, one day we had a job in Cromwell Street.

The initial visit was to make safe a broken window and we went back a week later to shove a new double glazed unit in. I got talking to the home owner (we were 3 doors down from the House of Horrors).

He had lived there for years and recounted a tale where Fred the builder was skint one summer and did a load of gardening jobs for local residents. As the houses were old many had wells in the back garden and he filled them in.

He was either winding me up or has a scoop that the rozzers didn't investigate.

On the same theme of the macabre on the A14/M11 split in our neck of the woods stands what is called locally The Crem.  There is a long lay by for truckers by the crematorium which was packed with nosey ghouls to watch Myra Hindley's smoke come out of the chimney.  It is said they have a reunion there on the anniversary.

Fred West was a rubbish builder.

When they demolished his house the BBC reported it as "the house of Gloucester builder Fred West." I am not sure his profession is what most people remember him for.

they found something behind a bricked up fireplace, i think it was an old flame

The body they found under the stairs was his step-daughter.

quality

he used to make his one daughter stand in the middle of a five a side goal in the garden

It is said that when the police dug up the garden at 10 Rillington Place all they found was a bucket with a bottom in it.

Being from Gloucester?

I'm from Gloucester. Fred West was from Herefordshire

Listened to Watford fans on talk sport who think he gave up as soon as they got enough points for safety. He took a siesta! Not driven enough for the job ahead at Villa. Going back to Spain, apparently touted himself for jobs over there since before Christmas. No, from me.

Tend to agree and he has no experience of the championship ad what is required

There was a Watford fan on the guardian football podcast and he was, and suggested most the fans, had been critical of Flores.  Too defensive and plays too many players out of position, primarily centre-backs at full back and centre midfielders as wingers.  The chap said that he wouldn't use the flair players in the squad, including an expensive signing in january, despite being pretty much safe.
