Obviously estimates are always rough but it's estimated over 700 tonnes of coke a year are 'exported' 43kg monetary wise seems a lot to us but it's a drop in the ocean for the creators.
Cheers. I lead a simple life! Is that just UK? I suppose that's only 10g per person per year, if only is the right word.

Spent my first 21 years on a council estate, worked as an apprentice and then carpenter for the local authority till the age of 28, council enough for you amateurs.
Flat roof pubs with a guaranteed kicking for just walking past, at least you knew where the nonces lived from word of mouth.
Rabid dogs round every corner.
Moved to Wales and it's not much better in your average town.

Just the 43kg?!?!
I'd seen the story but assumed it was a couple of bricks. 43 feckin' kilos of blow! The sniffer dogs must have been following her like she was the Pied Piper.
Doesn't look like the sharpest tool in the box. Actually, I'm surprised she didn't ask to offload half of it at check-in when she suddenly realised that she was over her baggage weight limit.I'd seen the story but assumed it was a couple of bricks. 43 feckin' kilos of blow!

I had a motorbike at 6 used to ride it up the woods. Had great fun.
We used to take our bikes into the big woods next to the house. We would come across dog walkers and families and no one would get angry (we did stop and turn off the bike though) all they did was say hello.We'd push it across the main road into the farmers field after burning. Once we were pushing it across and a cop car stopped, put his lights on, and motioned for us to cross then just drove off with a wave.
We'd also have an airgun each slung over our shoulders. We were probably about 11yo.
People were much more tolerant of scrotes back then and I know for a fact some of the people getting enraged did exactly the same thing as kids.
Further evidence that having money is no barrier to being Council, we went to a birthday party on a boat this weekend, and enjoyed an evening cruise around the harbour whilst quaffing Champagne. The boat was from this place, and there were around 50 of us on board, so I’ll let you peruse and do your own sums…

However, our boat and party was no different to all the others on the harbour that night, regardless of whether it was a backpacker special serving Coronas and crisps or a 200’ gin palace slurping Dom P and nibbling blinis.
We were all totally Council, getting drunk and playing music too loud in a public place.
And, yes, it was fun!

We'd push it across the main road into the farmers field after burning. Once we were pushing it across and a cop car stopped, put his lights on, and motioned for us to cross then just drove off with a wave.

It was the days where kids were expected to go outdoors and be kids, do dodgy stuff, get into trouble. Nowadays it is pretty extinct . I'm glad I experienced it, was thinking about it last night, It was amazing time to live. And no kids on depression tablets or auto immune problems .We'd push it across the main road into the farmers field after burning.

Being 'council' has nothing to do with living on a council estate. As someone much earlier in the thread correctly pointed out, being council is a state of mind.So you could be staggeringly rich and live in a mansion but if your TV is mounted on your chimney breast then thats council. Or you could live on the worst council estate in the UK, but as long as you don't have a sofa out the front of your house, or a ripped trampoline in an overgrown garden, or no 'love, laugh, live' picture on your wall, then you're not council whatsoever.

t.Back in my day (70's/80's) you had decent kids and bad kids. I think scroates are a new middle category that never used to exist.
The everyday decent kids got up to mischief by going out into the woods to play, some took their dads air rifle and occasionally started small fires etc but didn't cause any real offence, harm or fear. The bad kids (I don't recall scroat ever being a word back then) did a bit worse.
Nowadays the decent kids don't/daren't get up to mischief, the modern day scroats whizz about on electric scooters being an absolute nuisance with little care, and the bad kids mug people and worse.
