But the question that must be asked should such cases be charged for the services provided by the NHS?

So should we all be charged for having to go to hospital for doing things where there is a risk of illness or injury?

Smoking, obesity, horse riding, roller skating, crossing the road....

Doesn't look much like fun to me or to those pictured at a guess.

Back in my young days we knew how to have fun and with a lot more decorum.

oh please AOG!!!

People have drunk to excess since we discovered booze existed, its not a new phenomenon, yes the scale might be larger, but so what?

I'm assuming most of these Black Fridayers are workers who pay taxes- are you suggesting they pay again should they require assistance from the emergency services?

I bet if you asked them if they had a great time they would most likely say yes! I have had some fantastic nights out but not felt so good the next day!

Clearly you have never had a good night out and suffered a hangover! Live and let live and stop being such a bloody misery!!

They're only doing what most of us did on occasion when we were young and daft.

Maybe some chaps, but I can never remember the fairer sex behaving or dressing in such a way.

I must admit to having a few nights like that Ratter,especially on New Years Eve,out to the pub at seven party all night,then up to the old Robin Hood cafe at the White Post Round about (they never closed) for a greasy spoon breakfast along with nearly all the lads and lasses in the area then back home for a quick shower and change and if you didn't make it back to the welfare for opening time you never lived it down.

"the fairer sex"

Ta for quoting me on one point of my post AOG, however you didnt the second, nor did you respond to it.

You are wrong I have had and still have a good night out, but I can hold my liqueur and also know my limit.

If anyone acted in the way some of these are acting, they would be arrested by the police, put in the 'Black Maria' slung in the police cells and charged the next morning for being drunk and disorderly.

I was expecting to find pictures of some poor soul vomiting in a gutter instead I am confronted by the shocking image of a young woman sitting on some steps and a middle aged chap having a cigarette.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!

But they're not drunk and disorderly, they're experiencing a state of altered perception while re-voluming an opinion.

And don't "workers who pay their taxes" and who happen to be involved in a car accident which involves them being ferried to an A&E, also expected to pay for the privileged through their motor insurance?
