Drugs and Chav problem
 

This place seems to have one!? (around the town centre and bolton road areas)

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Check most town centres, accy aint much different, day time i reckon is actually worse than night. imho fact our council seem to support em dont help.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Drugs are not subjective to one specific town. The bigger the town the more problems with drugs...

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Oh I don't know Rob, I think it's more down to the demographics & ethnology than size.

New guy is right whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

Last time I walked across town I was passing through St James churchyard in the day with 5 kids. Pretty much as I stepped into the churchyard I noticed a guy propped up against a tree inject himself in the arm with heroin and collapse.

That was midday. God knows what happens in the evening.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

He probably does.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Did you do the Good Samaritan thing and help the guy? Or did you walk on the other side of the road and ignore the guy?

Let me guess...

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

I am wondering how the hell he knew it was heroin? It could've been insulin and that dude injecting might be dead now

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Exactly, too much jumping to conclusions and not enough human compassion methinks.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Perhaps he stood over him whilst he was overdosing " Was that heroin you just injected? "

" It was...."

"oh? What's that? Are you overdosing?" then walks off towards churchills

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Which town are you referring to, we don't have a Bolton Road in Accrington.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Beat me to it Restless, that was exactly what I thought.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Perhaps Bolton Avenue in Huncoat? Best match I can think of.

I had 5 kids under 10 in my charge at the time, so there's no way I'm going to deal with him.

No one in the town seems to admit the town has a drugs problem much less care about it. The notion that people out of town should care more about it than those that do live in the town is an interesting though flawed concept.

The new guy to the forum is still correct whether you want to listen or not. Question is, what is it about this town that makes it so much worse than others? (This side of Scotland at least).

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Drugs problems exist all over, not just here, as do people who make assumptions about others without knowing all the facts. Just because someone has a needle in their arm doesn`t mean they are a heroin user.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

And this is rare?:rolleyes:

Gpick - are you blind to what occurs in your town? Surely you've been around the town by St James church / bottom of Warner Street. I've been there plenty and I've yet to walk around the place without seeing drugs, drunks or violence and that's during the daytime.

It is rare to the extent I see it in your town. There are parts of Glasgow and Airdrie that are similar but no it's not normal for any uk town.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

No, I know there is a drugs problem and have seen it first hand with people I know (admittedly not heroin). What I`ve also seen is people injecting themselves with prescription medicine, how can you tell from what you saw if it was heroin or something else.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

I think you're wasting your time gpick, he knows everything and we know nothing nor do we care about our town.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Maybe, but there`s nowt on telly.

Family Guys just about to start and it's the second in their Star Wars specials, really kick ass funny.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Never watched Family Guy, Outnumbered Christmas Special is best I could find.

A few of reasons:

1) Injected medicine doesn't cause an immediate unconscious state.
2) most medicines including insulin are not injected into the inner arm at the elbow.
3) I've known heroin addicts and diabetics.

Even if you want to play devils advocate and give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's say he was injecting water...... the results at noon on a weekday are pretty shocking, and aren't what you see in the average church yard.

I don't see a lot of point in arguing the obvious. What would be better would be a discussion around what the mayor /police / social services and council should be doing about it. This is a governance issue.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

I think most people on here blame the maundy shop for bringing out of town, for want of a better term, low lives, into accrington. I don`t know a lot about it except what i`ve read on here.
Just a point for your
No.1 - If you need an insulin injection and don`t do it quick enough wouldn`t that cause you to lose consciousness,
No.2 - If you need to inject medicine quickly, wouldn`t you go for the easiest option i.e. not pulling your pants down in a churchyard or try to remove a coat
Saying that you are right, i am playing devils advocate. just to make a point that it`s not usually a good thing to make assumptions.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Never seen anybody injecting anything. Closest ive come is finding the toilets closed on peel street...

I see the maundy shop getting a lot of flack here also, and it is also the only place I've heard about it.

Less - nice to see at least one turkey surviving the Xmas cull. Seasons greetings, even to you.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Are Chavs the same as Bogans.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

I would say yes.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

So you are ignorant about Maunday, I bet that won't stop you from telling us what our opinion of it should be though.

You really should try for a little originality in your insults if you want them to hit the target instead of just making people feel sorry for your 50% lack of wit.

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Wait a minute ... I'm trying to do the math on this:confused: If you are trying to say he's a wit, you are only half right.:D

Re: Drugs and Chav problem
 

Careful what you say Eric or he'll practice his skills of the put down on you.

Just give him a moment and he'll steal something from the internet so he can lash you with his sharp tongue.
