I’ve been involved in loads of construction work all over Liverpool and so far , we have managed to come out ok.

We have encountered numerous incidents, some of them extremely funny and some a wee bit concerning.

Paying for local security and using no local labour is pretty much essential.
We worked on Park Road in Toxteth , equally funny and scary.
We got caught between the Unghi’s and Panama Jack there . We kept our heads down , layed out the dosh and we were fine.
We had some screates nick some plant and tapenade demand payment for giving it back - sorted by security

We set up site on another job in a pub near the Phily , paid Panama Jack his due and began investigation work prior to the awarding of a binding contract . Client went bust and we paid security for months without a return.

Another time we were refurbishing the Odeon Cinema on London Road and we were having a beer in a right dodgy pub at the back of the site. It was this time of year and it was a dive but a right giggle. The doors swung open and a local announced “ Does anyone want to buy a leather jacket”. My colleague asked what colour it was and the guy replied “ what colour do you want , I nick to order”.

I had a mate who knew that 'Panama Jack', wasn't he actually Jamaican?
Said he had a big scar down the back of his head from a machete, and was quite polite, but everyone knew of his reputation, and nobody fucked with him or his crew. Whenever plant got robbed, (which was rare) that was under Panama's security, it re appeared toot sweet.

Panama, real name Wilfred Henry Jones, is a 66-year-old father of 12 with a passion for expensive designer clothes,plush cars and dark glasses.

He is also a convicted killer. He was jailed for the manslaughter of his 43-year- old former wife,Jean Jones, and her daughter, 23-year-oldMargaret Bowers.

They died on Christmas Day,1969, after being subjected to a frenzied attack with an axe in their home in Sandon Street,Toxteth.

Jones'guilty plea was accepted on the grounds of diminished responsibility after the court heard medical evidence which stated he was liable to outbursts of violence under conditions of stress,alcohol and fasting.

He was jailed for life in May,1970, but was released on licence after 8 1 / 2 years. The company owner's past made headlines again many years later when Panama Security was awarded the contract to guard the then newly built Liverpool Women's Hospital,its grounds and car parks.

Hospital management received strong criticism for allowing a man who had killed two women to be in charge of protecting a facility dedicated to caring for women and children.

But health bosses said they were aware of his criminal conviction,but were totally happy with the service his company was supplying

Yeah....They're all politicians and you kind of know you're going to get shafted somewhere along the line with the Tories. The Socialist however claim to be for the people yet given half a chance they also cream off the top when they can. It's human nature I suppose if you're in that position. That's why I always question why someone wants to go into politics as a career....
I used to know a guy who stood for some constituent solely for the wages, the pension, the expences and the contacts he could make, had no thoughts whatsoever for the populous. He did however loose his deposit straight off.

Used to see him a lot as a student as his house was a few roads away from mine in Wavertree/Smithdown Rd. He was fond of bucket hats, frequently wore a hideous magenta and jade shell suit and drove a low end Mercedes. His house was fully CCTV’d up 25yrs back. I did tell the lads he can’t have been ‘all that’ as his Merc wasn’t a dear one. He comes from Guyana and legend has it he used to shoe shine visiting British Navy folk to earn his coin.
