Body at side of road in Suffolk.

Back from a week touring around Norfolk and Suffolk. Weirdest thing ever was finding a body at the side of a country road. Seems though someone had taken a overdose in the end we managed to get an ambulance. Anyway my GF wrote this poem.


The Body By The Road

One day whilst driving far away
and watching little lambs at play.
I was taken by surprise
at the sight I saw before my eyes;
a body, by the roadside lay.
To assist and help without delay.
I pulled onto the grassy verge
and from my van I did emerge.
I rushed up to the body, still,
and shouted loudly with all my will;
“Can you hear me? Are you awake?”
and gave his shoulder a gentle shake.
There was no response, he was out cold.
To phone an ambulance would be bold
as where I was I had no clue
which made this task quite hard to do.
Luckily, a friendly passer by
stopped to ask what happened and why
this body was lying where it was,
I said, I did not know the cause.
He knew the road and village, near,
which brought about feelings of cheer.
We could now get help without delay
and happily go on our way.

Luckly it was day time otherwise I might have put my foot down. (too many horror films).:eek:
 
if they were a smack head i would have driven over them,they cost this country a fortune.
No sympathy from me,sorry!
 
I saw a scruffy young girl staggering around on an industrial estate in Morecambe one morning this weekend, clearly off her face on some substance. She may as well have been a dead body too, as there was nothing going on inside. What a waste of a life!

If we lived in a more sensible country, run by an inteligent and hardworking goverment we would build more prisons and institutions where we can incarcerate these kind of people, people with drug and alcohol problems,who will end up robbing and thieving and also killing people becouse of their habit.The goverment steal enough money off us(and dont talk to me about petrol duty!) that they should be able to build more prisons and units so that decent people like us dont have to even look at them.We help these people too much whilst enjoying life in the pub on our taxes.I want to be P.M i would soon put a stop to those peoples holiday.Shape up or give them an overdose they are a drain on our resources and a waste of human life. God im angry today!


No dont mention petrol duty please!!!!!!!!!
 
Tis altogether very sad. 'Care in the Community' has a lot to answer for as we see institutions closed in favour of assisted living.

A new build £2.5 million facility is about to open in the centre of Torquay in an effort to help up to 50 of these self-inflicted drug-dependent drop-outs at huge costs to the Health Authority and Police time.

From the look and sound of many I pass in the street I imagine death is a welcome release to some.

It wasn't that kind of overdose. Apparently he had an argument with a family member then pinched his mothers prescribed drugs. More depression I think than other drug taking.:(

Lovely they are probably trying to bring some holiday makers into the town,as if torquay ain't bad enough.The down and outs from Scotland and Liverpool i have heard outside the town hall should prove a real attraction together with their bottles and cans of lager.I cant even afford to drink beer!
No wonder the shops are all closing.Apparently Torquay is the place where all the druggies in England like to come too and guess what the state pays for them to come here..Surely a center away from the populous would be a better idea where they all go into and hopefully never come out of!
You know what after Gordon robbing me i think i will go and pack my job in and go and join them.
Could i interest anyone in joining me for a bottle of meths?

Sounds OK to me (400 miles away)

I`ll share a bottle with you but only if its 10 year old.
 
I feel like I'm reading the Daily Mail......

Ive had plenty of experiance with these kind of people,if your stupid enough to get addicted to any substances that are harmful to your health,you deserve all you get a bit more zero tolerance than politically correct is the order of the day and you can take that as a quote if you like:cool:
 
And here's me thinking how nice it was to belong to a community of people who enjoy similar things. Turns out this site is full of bigots and judgemental people with no compassion or understanding for others. That'll be me signing off this site for good. Disgraceful.
 
Vickib,

You should thank God every morning that you live in a tolerant country where free speech is allowed.

Having spent many years in some of the poorest and dangerous countries in the world, I appreciate every day in Britain.

By throwing a wobbler and signing off, then you are the intolerant one.

That was a waste of time because she is never going to read this.

you have 7k individuals here bickybee...
probably the only thing they all have in common is a motorhome.:confused:

iff you expected more... welcome to the real world ... to coin a phrase :rolleyes:

ps...iffin you are that precious... yer probably best out of it lass :(

regards ;)

And some of us don't even have a motorhome. My current vehicle is just a van with few bits of wood inside at the moment ;)

But you can't expect forums to be sweetness and light all the time, vicki. Like real life there's a whole mix of people and you have to take the rough with the smooth :)
 
I get fed up with the PC brigade taking offence all the time. I was told the other day that I couldn't say "half-cast" because it was racist. Apparently I have to say "mixed race" instead. Ever feel like you're permanently treading on egg shells?!
There was no foul or abusive language or direct insults directed at participating individuals in the afore-listed posts; just personal opinions from free speaking contributors. You may disagree with some of those opinions Vicky, so it would have been interesting to have the benefit of your opposing view in the spirit of good healthy educational debate.
There's one thing for certain: you'll certainly not educate or convert anyone by throwing your teddy out of the pram.
