  1. Like in Portugal where they legalised drugs but made them prescription only. At one fell swoop you get rid of the dealers, the criminality, the robbing to fund a habit etc and in exchange for the legally provided high they get healthcare....you know, to whean them off it and stop them using in future.

     

    Seeing as what previous governments over here keep trying and keep failing at maybe it's time to try something different.

     

    Isn't there a defintion of stupidity along the lines of "You keep doing something, it keeps going wrong, but you keep on doing it forever." That's the UKs drug policy that is.

     

     

    They didn't legalise it in Portugal they decrimininalised it, it is now a civil offence. It has been very successful the prison population dropped, petty crime was lowered etc. If people offend then they have to attend rehab as it costs way less than keeping someone locked up.k


  2. It stated on Tuesday nights programme that the patio doors had been left unlocked.

     

    It is true. You can't lock the patio doors from the outside, only the inside. The McCanns freely admitted that they had left the doors unlocked. That was only after it morphed from the jemmied shutter, which turned out to be impossible.


  3. Using political boundaries the following pubs are also all in Stannington:

    The Rivelin Hotel

    The Holly Bush

    The Anvil

    The Strines Inn

    The Royal at Dungworth

    The Plough at Low Bradfield

    The Old Horns at Bradfield.

    The Nags Head at Stacey Bank

    The Admiral Rodney and The Wisewood Inn at Loxley

    The Blue Ball and Shoulder of Mutton at Worrall

     

    Even The Middlewood Tavern's in Stannington Ward even though it is no longer operating.

     

    Well I would sure hate to go on a pub crawl round that lot!! Think even marathon runners would be hard pushed.

    I'll go with Daven if you are on a pub crawl on a night out there are three pubs in Stannington.


  4. You should read the thread, but why do they have to inconvnience these people when they could have parked elsewhere and walked? When the person arrived they were being blocked. If it happens a lot then there is a cumulative effect of getting fed up with inconsiderate people.

     

    Errr... I have read the thread otherwise I wouldn't have commented. Someone is in the car to drop off a kid, sat there engine on, moves in an instant, it is like being distracted by a few seconds to move from a red traffic light when it moves to green. Puts car in gear and moves.

    The problem is it happens several times a week depending on where your drive is.

     

    So when you drive down a road in heavy traffic you just nudge up every 5 feet an leave every drive clear all the time?


  5. I think To kill a mockingbird is my favourite book. I did it for O'level and the teacher I had at the time was brilliant, I had always loved reading but she really brought to details the way to 'read a book' and it has stayed with me forever. That is the only half decent thing I can say about my schooling.:(
