Ronnie Biggs was an old time crook, who earned respect in the underworld. Thats why l said that l wouldn't like to be in the area on the day he gets buried, as it will be BIG.

In yesterday's world the crooks always respected the elderly, and only done banks and bullion. In todays world you can't even leave a window open without someone breaking in.

Yes, the driver of the train died, but you cannot blame Biggs for that, That person was never found.

Yes, and when those banks lost that money, who do you think paid for it? The banks? I doubt it. I'll wager that cost was passed on, either to the taxpayer or the bank's customers. Either way, the bank wouldn't have lost out. The general public would have. Including, I daresay, some of the elderly.



The same person who presumably wouldn't have been there unless the gang was there?

I'm not happy about him being dead just don't see why he deserves any glorifying
