Meanwhile, the town centre seems to be crawling with druggies |

Not just this chap http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/2013/man-col...igh-on-ketamine I often come across gaggles obviously dealing (the canal towpath and thhe footpath at the end of Craven Road are popular spots). Apparently they've also been causing problems in local pubs, toilets in shops, the library etc. Has anyone else noticed an increase in activity recently and, if so, what could account for it? Maybe it's good news. Perhaps George Osborne's much vaunted rescue of the UK's economy is leading to increased disposable income for druggies as well as everyone else.

Not noticed many druggies, what is apparent is the increased number of pesky chuggers just lately. Am I right in thinking they were banned some time ago !

QUOTE (HJD @ Dec 20 2013, 11:13 AM) Not noticed many druggies, ! I think there may be less now since they have had to pay to get to Newbury on the train. Their only alternative is to push through the ticket gates or WALK from the Racecourse station!!

QUOTE (Sherlock @ Dec 20 2013, 09:40 AM) MDNA is Madonna's 12th studio album (so Wikipedia tells me) whereas it's actually MDMA which is often referred to as ecstasy. As for drug users/dealers in Newbury, I've never seen anything of the sort. Sure, I've seen unsavoury characters looking a bit dodgy, but never public taking or dealing of drugs. I'm clearly not in the right place at the right time.

QUOTE (motormad @ Dec 20 2013, 10:02 PM) I notice ballginas on some men. Doesn't make me gay. There is a difference between a man in a "ballginas" (which is noticeable) and somebody with a bag of white sherbet (hidden), not noticeable.

I've seen plenty of OBVIOUS drug deals. man hands over cash. takes a small packet of something. Both wearing hoodies and looking dodge. Guess that just makes me a user of illegal substances lol. You notice things by being attentive to world around you which, I guess, if you don't notice, proves you're not!

I am very observant; I suppose my problem is, is that I don't go into town when they are around and/ or dealing. Maybe you could give us some advice so we know the right times to go into town and buy some sherbet.
