big-will 7 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Quotes from the important news thread..... one of my lads required a quick toilet stop and ran into a local KFC the other day - when he came out he complained of the stupid blue light - had to explain about the light being used to obscure veins and discourage intravenous drug use etc... obviously KFC and junkies are a good fit. Those blue lights are everywhere in Perth, nearly every publick toilet, petrol station toilets etc. Also needle disposal bins in most public toilets too. Thats pretty shocking to me. What a sad state of affairs. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Britain has those in places as well, perhaps not everywhere but not as uncommon as you may think (or want). It is a sad reflection of our times Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I can honestly say I have never noticed that back in England. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I've seen them in London and up in Scotland I've seen them in Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Interesting. I will have to try and notice more next time, though I'm sure I would have noticed and wondered what's up with the strange lights....... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Pubs and clubs tend to have em more than restaurants. Kinda like the sloping top of a toilet, so's coke heads can't set up lines on them **in their toilets........not the UV lights that are common in the main club/pub area Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I wouldn't say they are EVERYWHERE in Perth Definitely in a lot of the public bathrooms in the entertainment area's. The KFC bathroom that my son went into is in a fairly busy nightlife hub, and I would say has had a problem in the past. It would be years since I have seen blue lighting in a bathroom, but I am not really frequenting that kind of area either. Problems are more likely to be orally taken drugs than injectables these days anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 in McDonalds in the Cross in Sydney, you could buy a bag of heroin, 30mins with a prostitute and a big mac meal!! Not that I did (well I did buy a Big Mac) Link to post Share on other sites

gareth_oau 2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 perhaps by installing a blue light, you are proactively preventing drugs becoming a problem? Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It doesn't necessarily mean that we have more Junkies down here than other places. It just means that business owners are doing more to discourage people from shooting up in THEIR toilets. You would be naive to think that it doesn't go on just because there's no blue light. But yes, very sad. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 As if you really need it explaining, I was just pointing out that you live in a place where it is an issue. It's crazy and a very sad situation where people even need to begin to consider such things. Where I live, the issue simply does not exist. If I told this story to my friends here, they would think I had gone mad. Link to post Share on other sites
