On Television; 'Drunk & Dangerous'

(1/5) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
This programme was on BBC 1 last night (22:35 - 23:25)
It focused on the exacerbation of drunken behaviour since the loosening of the licencing laws.
Three towns were the main features
Wrexham
Portsmouth
Northampton :roll:

It made for (erm.....) 'interesting' view, as the offenders percieved that they've done no wrong :?
Surely in most peoples eyes, if a Police Officer has told you to keep quiet/ move on/go away, etc.... you do it.

But no, Alcohol talked for these people.

One deterrant that was tried (in Wrexham) for public urination was the shaming of the offender.
Offer (invariably) him the choice; £80.00 fine, or swill/scrub it away  & endure the derisory comments of everyone passing.

I'll suggest it to Matron that we try it in the unit next weekend :lol:
Get drunk, puke/pee on the floor, you[/i] clean it up.
Oh, & don't hit the staff either :wink:

If they're really obnoxious & drunk, it's not unknown (in various Hospitals) if they're in an exam-gown to use their clothes to mop the floor with :lol:
Serves them right

Anyone else see it?
Your views?

Edge:
Yeah, I also watched it....made me cringe at the realisation that I used to get in a right state when out with the lads, ended up in overnight police accommodation a couple of times too. Needless to say I changed my ways a good few years ago and dont drink excessively anymore, lucky if i get a pint a month now (Living in the middle of no-where may have something to do with that).

HANTSAMB have an unoffical policy that says to make it a trip to remeber when you have to pick em up. Not actively be unpleasent but not to be sympathetic.

I thnk they were also told if you get a mouthy aggressive one to call the police and let them sort it.

paul_humphreys:
I missed it, but I know what Wrexham is like.
