Thread Name: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
Subject: RE: BS: Northern Ireland What a Joke
I'm lucky in that I live in a small village [by choice] and walking the streets at night can be done with impunity. We do however have the seemingly ubiquitous problem of 'boy racers' who scream up the roud, do a U turn in the road by my gate and race back again, mandatory loud exhausts included. What I can't understand is why they think that everybody else shares their crap taste in music, as they scream around with all windows down no matter what the weather, with their ICE systems turned up full blast. If we do need to call on the boys in blue for any reason, it is the luck of the draw whether the phone forwarding system from unmanned police station to unmanned police station, brings you succour from 10 or 55 miles away. Small wonder the kids feel untouchable as they indulge in their high decibel 'peacock parade'.
