Reliable information saying the same thing from two different people who were there at the time . Sadly neither of them are no longer with us. However if over here you look at some old buildings you can sometimes see where metalwork was. Interestingly it seemed private dwellings were targeted well before those erm "with a higher social standing" as in a larger detached house etc. Usual thing I am afraid, target the poorest first. | |
