alisoncc 379 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 'Pretty Windows' murder: Family seek closure. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-23984881 You lot are a pretty suspicious lot, so where were you on September the 8th 1963 at or about midnight when George Wilson was done in. ********************************************************** Sorry m'lud but I was at RAF Finningley helping to man the barricades against the Soviet hordes. No m'lud I cannot provide witnesses to verify this. Why not, it's not as if it was fifty years ago. Clang, clang - Lock her up. Next suspect. Note: Inability to remember is no excuse.

Beefsteak 305 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Still in a pram in Carlton M'lud All of two years old guv.......................Honest guv... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alisoncc 379 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 People only tend to be in prams when they've been out. Carlton wasn't that far from Sneinton, and as you had your own wheels, we need to know where had you been in a pram at midnight? We'll come back to you later: Next suspect.

StephenFord 866 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well, I must be a real shady character -'cos I was 14. I guess I was getting ready to go back to school after the long Summer holidays, so I wouldn't be in a very good mood. And even more damning, I haven't a clue what I was actually doing that day 50 years ago, nor the day before or the day after. I can't even remember what I was doing on the same day in 1962 or 64 either - or 2004 for that matter. So there - and anyway, who would even remember what their alibi was for 50 years ago, except them as had something to hide? Only criminals have alibis! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,674 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Well I did keep a diary for '63 as a 14 year old . As Stephen says , that day a Sunday must have been the last day of the summer holiday unless we started back on a Tuesday . Saturday the 7th , according to my diary , Forest beat Stoke 1-0 . Sunday 8th , I haven't written anything....no alibi ! The next entry for me was the following Tuesday when I wrote that I had given Pat H a musical box from Switzerland that I bought her , after going on the Gedling Sec. Mods Euro coach tour , a week or so before . She didn't go on the trip , so back at school would have been the first time I saw her and I had a real crush on her but she never really responded after years of trying.....aaaahhh ! Doesn't help but it wasn't me guv , honest . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Re #7, just realised my alibi is rubbish! At that time bro was in the box room, so he could have left without me knowing, so IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIM !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But you do need to be aware that anyone not providing an alibi will be considered a person of interest by the moderators. :unsure: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I remember the word of the murder flashed round the clubs within the hour...it was talked about in between hands of poker.I think a few of the all night gamblers made use of the Pretty Windows early morning licence for a crafty early hours drink.How they convinced staff they were porters on the wholesale fruit market I've no idea.

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I asked my missis what she was doing at that time. She said nowt but a slow smile crept across her face. Then she winked and then went into the kitchen to dry the dishes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
