re : Then she, like many of us, believes that the efforts being wasted on the WOD should be focused on protecting us all from violent criminals. Must be something wrong with her eh?.

In my borough Hackney in London, we have had a number of drug busting operations, that end up with the arrests of a few dealers here a few dealers there who are soon replaced so I am told.

A couple of weeks ago I saw some men break into the yard of the factory opposite my window, I phoned my local police station, after around ten minutes of a ringing tone someone finally answered it took around a further 30 to 40 mins for them to get a couple of cars around there.

They apologised and had a good excuse lack of police resources.

I applaud the police efforts in busting pill poppers, pot heads and clubbers, after all it is more important to get them of the street rather than those who just indulge in ordinary crime the type that involves a victim as well as a criminal.

Cheers Tony

Your big mistake was telling them there was a break in going on. You should have told them an 82 year old grandmother was out there selling pot - they would have been there in under two minutes. :-)

Tony, cheers to you and London. Just don't forget to use sarcasm in your close as many here are not all that perceptive and could misread your intent. Obviously when you called the police were too busy busting a pothead to deal with a real violent crime ie a break in.
