I went past the incident, once everything had calmed down, took me a while though because one of the idiots had parked their car diagonally half across a disabled space and half in the road. Not one of the drunks, sadly but one of the constabulary.

I'm assuming that the incident was treated as an emergency (yes it is just an assumption as I don't know what the incident was), in which case would you rather that the "idiot" had taken the time to carefully select the nearest parking bay and park accordingly?

I can hear it now when they come out to the next assault. "Sorry sir / madam that I couldn't get here in time but took me ages to find a suitable parking space that didn't inconvenience somebody".

Ok that is of course assuming that they even turn up....!

[Strafin]

Yes I do, if possible, there was 2 empty spaces, and he drove sideways against the kerb and left it there. If it was an emergency he should have moved it afterwards. When I went by all the traffic in one direction had to stop because a coach was trying to get past, and the copper was just standing chatting to someone watching.

Unbelievable !!
Lucky the parking wardens weren't there or he would have got a ticket as well.
Perhaps a complaint to the Chief Constable is warranted !!

Have noticed over the last couple of weeks that a few of our lovely town drunks are now positioning themselves outside Rio's to catch the early morning commuters walking to the station. Today I was asked for 20p, I politely decined and carried on my way but behind me I heard one of them say to the other "What's up with people this morning?" if I were the confrontational type I would have liked to turn round and explain to him in some detail what is up with asking people for money but I am not so quietly carried on my way to work.

Tut Tut Gumbo. I thought thats why we worked. To give the town drunks money so they can buy Special Brew in the morning and then shout abuse at us when drunk when we are on the way home after work.

By the way - the girl in the incident the other night had razor blades in her mouth. She should obviously be sectioned as she is a danger to her self and possibly others.

What annoys me about myself is that I said 'no sorry' when in my head I said something totally different which would no doubt get my post deleted

Still not sure what the solution is to this problem, obviously these people have some deep rooted issues and probably a trouble life but sometimes I feel like the American General characther that Kenny Everett once did on his television show. Apologies to those too young to remember but feel free to google the words '"round them up, put them in a field and" to get what I am on about.

This is why licensing teams need to stop putting resources into entrapment techniques with local venues and target the retailers. Ban these people from consuming alcohol within a set area (asbo?) then find out where these people are getting their alcohol and close the shops down. This has gone far enough.

With regards to premises, focus efforts on tracing trouble back to venues who have allowed them to get smashed, with even tougher penalties for venues that discount alcohol.

As I have previously stated I think giving all or a proportion of these people's benefits in vouchers that could only be redemmed for food and clothing would go some way to reduce this problem as well.

[Richard Garvie]

I'm sure they would have some kind of legal argument under human rights, but I love the idea.

You have to be kidding me! They spend all their day getting pi$$ed using mainly money from benefit that the majority of society suppliment by going out to work and then when the average person in the straight says "hold on a minute that doesn't seem right" and suggests a possile alternative it is thrown out because it would be infringing the pi$$ heads human rights!! seriously this is why this country is on its knees!

[Richard Garvie]

You are totally right. Part of the joys of belonging to Europe!!!

I could not agree more. I caught one woman in front of me in the shop in Pound St trying to swop milk tokens (whatever they are?) for Special Brew. And another one was trying to fence what was obviously stolen goods for the Brew.

I think this "special brew" should be banned, it's likened to a parasite sit's on the brain and turns its drinkers into work shy, lazy, aggressive scumbags.

I'm happy to pay this small subsidy so that people are kept in a dazed state, preventing them from becoming competition for me in the employment market!
