Sorry Bernard, but Mam is just the word for Mum in the North East of England!

For example, a typical exchange between two youths might be;

“Seeya after doon the beck wiyer pin?” (Shall we meet later for a spot of fishing?)

“Me Mam woownt lettus gan wii’ya doon t’beck fer a bitta feshin meend, shee’s reet meetherin’ onnat us noo anda canna do reet at haahm - ah ’spectister hoooormoons an ‘al, b’t shalla seeyertermorrer doon the ginnel fer a faag?…”

(My mother won’t let me go with you down to the stream for a bit of fishing, she’s seems to be nagging me rather a lot at the moment and I find I am unable to do anything right at home - I have a suspicion it might be her hormones; but shall I try to meet you in the alley for a smoke?”

That’s just the way we talk. It’s nowt mooer sinister than that, canny lad!

So, one of the son’s has taken off. Where to, oh yes, Panama. The other son will soon follow probably. They will lose everything by the sounds of it. They must have to pay back the authorities for the full-scale search though. Bet Mr Darwin’s not got amnesia now!

I noticed yesterday that the sons call their mother ‘Mam’. Although Americans use the word “mom”, most people in this country prefer “mum.” My point is why this unusual spelling? I’m wondering if it is a kind of pre-arranged code message to her, telling her not to come back.

I say this because yesterday she said she was returning, then she saw the message from her sons and now there is no sign of her. Someone tipped her off that the police were waiting for her? I think it might have been her sons.

It would be interesting to ask people who know the family whether the boys normally addressed her in this way. I suspect not.

But we shouldn’t speculate about matters we know little. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. There could be an innocent explanation for what has happened. Let’s hope so.

Sons knew nothing about the deception?

Bollocks!

I don’t believe it!

Ah yes, a falling out with the wife would explain a lot.
Got his revenge didn’t he.

i have read the police have a theory that he had an arguement with his wife and they seperated…and because evything was in her name he was left with nothing so he reappeared as revenge..I think the whole thing is actually brilliant though..he got away with it for over 5 years and was in panama the whole time living it up..my hats off to him apart from the part where he was thick enough to pose for a photograph with his wife..

had this gone completely to plan and they lived happily ever after..it would have been great..its hilarious..was a damn good try..altho in his situation i would have accepted the fact that i would never pose for a photo again..but still next person to try it will learn from their mistakes..

I read today that there is a possibility that he had been dumped by his wife and that going back to the UK and turning up with “amnesia” was a way of dumping her in it with regard to the financial fraud…? she seems very adamant that the sons were not involved (and so do they of course), but when she went to Panama, was she seriously thinking about not seeing them again (unless she went back to the UK)? a visit by them to Panama (had they really known nothing about it) would immediately have blown everything wide open. I think there is more on this to come out yet…

I was thinking, I do sometimes. Just what kind of idiot is this Darwin fellow?
He seemed to have got away with it, then he turns up in England claiming to have amnesia.
Without the resultant publicity he would probably still be living quietly in Panama, so why all this? Did he really think no one would piece this together?
I’m amazed!

Possibly he wanted his bus pass and £200 heating allowance….
