I guess its one of the increasing small number of businesses that still deal mainly in cash

problem with clubs is the time that you cash up. it tends to be very early in the morning before security deposit services can get there. Also you are correct, in a club like mayhem card transaction volumes are very very minimal. as i said though thank god whatever plan the kidnappers had failed. must have been an awfull experience.

Twas indeed Garys car , The Police were completely useless as well when I had found his phone. After being put through to 4-5 different sections, I suggested I call the 'Home' entry on his phone, to which the person on the end of the phone said, 'I think that would be best'.
The Police didn't seem to know they **** from their elbows

Must agree, without knowing too much about him, it brings it home when the picture on his phone is of his little girl, and no matter what he's into, their are people that would have really missed him, IF anything had happened.

If they had tried dumping the car outside my yard this morning, they would have been really stuck, and possibly caught, as I had a big delivery lorry blocking the road at the same time as it happened yesterday.

The driver of a blue sports car did not stop at the scene and was later arrested for failing to stop and report the accident.
A 24-year-old Canvey man was questioned at Southend Police Station and later released on police bail until June 24. Police, who closed the road until 1am, are appealing for witnesses to the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Mark Wade at Rayleigh road policing unit on 0300 3334444.

Not in the article no. BUT read the comments.... FOOL...

If he's stupid enough to drive a relatively rare sports car (a Noble) in the early evening, especially on Canvey, and expects not to get noticed when he mows someone down he more than deserves to get arrested. I really hope the poor boy recovers (

Just read a few of the comments, they seem to be a real shower, some even suggesting that the 'Manager' deserves what happened because he doesn't like the club

most are jealous mindless failures who have nothing remotely interesting to look forward to in their lives mate. in 50 years time they'll still be doing the same job and saying the same **** ... best not to worry about them as I'm sure Gary doesn't
