Dust, Crack And Smack Heads In Your City

[nailit]

Walking home, after work,
has become a game of running the gauntlet.
So many crackies and dusties etc....
All begging (or in a recent case trying to mug me)

Please tell me its not just Stoke....
I can look after myself but ive had my moments with these people to the point that I have
been scared. Seen women looking in their purses
for some loose change to get rid of these addicts.

I totally understand addictions and the path that they lead you down
But where are the police etc to monitor these situations?
Nowhere?

Do you have similar problem areas?

[Peter Pedant]

what are Dusties - well clearly there is no prob where she lives
None in Norf Manchester - all in Piccadilly Gdns probably

Oh and I know where the cheapest prostitutes in Manchester are , if anyone is interested

Had to drive through Birmingham last weekend - every stop at traffic lights had ethnics begging money from the line of cars. A new experience for me - told them I gave at the office!

//They are and do hit the bigger boys ( the supply lines) until we have an increase in police manpower it will continue to be an uphill battle along with other none drug related crime.//

Stop listening to Twitface, the Police are doing a lot more than you know, they just choose not to tell you for what should be obvious reasons particularly on CL.

It's in most Towns Nailit, we have an abundance of it here in the BCP area.

How did you come by this money-saving gem? I didn't see it on Money Saving Expert.

[youngmafbog]

Davebro, clearly you are not a regular down the local Rub n Tug shop like PP is ;-)

Alright here but it is one of the more exclusive Welsh valleys.
As others have said, it's a city problem.
When I worked in Dublin I expected it to be all olde worlde, Molly Malone. It was full of them.
There but for the grace of God.

Maybe PP uses this-

I know McCoy (not his real name), nice guy, very intelligent, used to have a record shop but got caught with his pants down when vinyl went bust. Turned his hobby into a business.

Was in Hanley today Nails. Carmountside Crem. for a funeral. In fairness the town looked pretty busy and no worse than some of the big towns here in N.Wales. Burslem was busy too but the bleedin roadworks ... mare.

Nice to hear that Burslem was busy, Togo.

Rebuilding it Tills by the looks of it. The Leopard is still shut after the fire though.

That was a tragedy, Togo. Such a venerated building, going up in smoke. I do hope they will get it restored.
