    Got my first day in court on Tuesday. I got to tell the people I needed to tell. I know I've probably annoyed people on here and I am sorry for that but thanks for the advice I've been given. If it's any consolation I feel so bad about things now, know how many people I've let down. Just hoping for the best.

    Hi Andy as you didn’t post on the forum for a while I’m presuming you got a custodial sentence. Just wondering how it went and if you got a fine as well?
  • His last post on here was Nov 2018 - doubt he will return to answer
