Ronnie Biggs has made a remarkable recovery after being released from prison, delaying multiple showings of Buster and the re-release of Phil Collins' You Can't Hurry Love which will inevitably be played when the old crook snuffs it.

Mr Biggs' family say that the relief of being freed gave him the strength to fight his pneumonia, which is roughly as easy to swallow as a great big bag of stolen cash.

Stinky Ponky spoke to shoppers at Kent's Bluewater Shopping Centre to see what they thought.

"Isn't it amazing what relief can do?" said Tom Arto, a retired whistle. "I've been suffering with a gammy leg for years. I'm going to try me some of this relief. I feel a bit silly to be honest because I thought the robbing old shitbag was simply taking the piss out of the British Judicial System - again. Glad his family have put me right.

"Didn't Jack Straw release him on compassionate grounds because he wasn't going to recover? Actually, come to think of it Mr Straw must being feeling a bit of a twat right now. Probably quite shagged off indeed in fact."

One shopper, Walter Wall, was angered by Biggs' unlikely recovery. "I have two weeks holiday coming up and I was relying on Biggs kicking the bucket before I go so I can miss the incredibly unwelcome return of Phil wanky, shit-stick Collins. Am I the only one who views Biggs as a thieving old toss-donkey who has been living the life of bastard riley on stolen cash for most of his years? 'Loveable old rogue' my shiny bell end.

"And Buster? My fucking God. I can't watch it again. I'd rather gaffer tape myself to the side of an elephant."
