https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/reports-mans-hand-chopped-off-24715290
Someone has had their hand chopped off outside Deighton WMC over a £10 bag of weed. Not very amusing but I did have a grim chuckle to myself when I read it which is a bad not good thing to do. It always was a very bad vibes WMC with a killer Alsatian often left out on the flat roof (a bit of 70's/80's thing at various rough as fuck flat roof pubs) that used to snarl at schoolkids walking past on a morning, and the psycho-gammon landlord used to threaten to let it loose on them if they persisted in throwing stones at the poor beast. I grew up just around the corner and it's a classic heart-warming Real Deighton story that will no doubt have an even grimmer follow up.
“I have lived here for 20-odd years and there will be reprisals. I hear he has lost his hand over a £10 bag of weed. I was here the last time a lad had his arm nearly sliced off.”

most blood feuds do start over some trivial shit, but lord, a tenner bag of weed is a new low!

i blame metric, it was better when they sold it in eighths

I haven't bought weed in years but it seems weed dealers have took a side in the imperial vs metric war, bloody melts!
― calzino, Saturday, 13 August 2022 10:28 (two years ago) link
but when I did buy weed in the early 90's in the Sheepridge/Deighton area, interactions with dealers was always very cordial and relaxed, never felt in any peril or ever caught sight of a machete!

was curious if people eat shrews and there is a US Catch and Cook a shrew guide on YT. But their shrews look much bigger.

Torrential rain this afternoon after very hot weather the previous few days. I was on the bus home and there were a lot of drenched people. In front of me were two 14-15 year old lads who were skateboarders dressed in t-shirts and shorts. One of them said to the other "If I was wearing my waterproof jacket and trousers nothing would touch me except your mum."

My local business of the week award goes to Bing Shropshire, who has been selling his jugs of tea in the Municipal Gardens for 45 years. 'The odd thing is,' confessed Bing, 64, 'is that I don't even like tea. I hate it. And I hate people.' We wish him many more years of success. pic.twitter.com/rgbvHmj0Yr— Councillor Rowan Battley (@CllrBattley) October 1, 2022

it reminds of the real mini golf course that used to be in Rectory Park that had an honesty box and cans of pop on sale for 50p for when there was nobody there, god knows how that worked. The council stopped maintaining it 10 years ago and it's overgrown and strewn with dogshit now.

The Jug of Tea place has been a staple of UK Martin Parr type Instagrammers and pre-Instagram bloggers and for about 20 years. I think the price was 99p when I first saw it.
