(Supposedly his mother was trying to smuggle heroin in the ashes at Heathrow Airport in London but disposed of them in the air conditioning system before being searched when fearing that she had been rumbled).

Sid's birth name was Simon John Ritchie - not the oft-reported "John Simon Ritchie" - and this can be easily confirmed by viewing his birth certificate, which is available widely online, including at this lin; https://outlawjimmy.com/outlaws/too-fast-to-live/ It would be nice if Wikipedia would stop ill-informed vandals from "correcting" this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.201.61.202 ( talk) 05:15, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. But with respect, 'Ill informed vandals' is not a nice thing to call us, Mr User.

But thanks for citing the birth certificate. Thelisteninghand ( talk) 20:31, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
