We have one of the biggest drug problems, prostitute probs, mental health probs and alcohol probs in the country. So the crime rate is pretty high.

My sister used to live in Hastings for 30 years it got so bad there that she decided to move to Lincolnshire, even in Norwich we have a red light district, reasonable priced I might add ( I do joke ), a death in the city centre not 6 weeks back. It is certainly troubled times.

Bournemouths biggest brothel was right opposite my previous house and the police used my house for surveilance. The night they did the raid I watched it out of my bathroom window, It was hilarious, people in various state of undress, I was dying for it to be some-one I knew :lol:
The sad problem around here is the young girls who are drug addicts and they use this way to pay for drugs. It is so sad and they are not safe, I see them every day with cuts, bruises and black eyes. I work sometimes with a support group for these girls.

A lady instructor, red school, is shepherding her 10 year olds up the steps. She was already aware that young Donald, had made a beeline for the loo.

AS the class reached the top of the steps, Donald appeared, at the bottom, and behind the fence. Lady instructor shouts, "Come on Donald, over the fence". Donald climbs the fence, but is faced with a wall of people, and he is only 4 ft high.

"Up you come Donald!", I shouted, and gave Mel a nudge. "Straight through Donald", shouts Mel. Everyone else takes it up. "C'mon Donald", "Get through Donald", et al.

It was like that scene at the railway station in Crocodile Dundee, "She says she loves you", and the crowd parts,and in our case, allowing Donald a straight route through.

What nice people we are in Niederau.

We are nice too! We always make way for the ski schools but the kids on this occasion were not ski school, they were with their families and they were elbowing and barging their way through the queues. It took me until the third or fourth day of politely putting up with it until I put my foot down...or should I say 'pole' down. :-)
