My brother was murdered in Chester in 1978. A nice, posh city like Chester, eh?

Shit happens everywhere - don't blame the location. We still visit Chester, and it's a great City. One scumbag hasn't spoiled it for us - and similarly, a few bad experiences in NZ wouldn't put us off this place either.

Can you remember when these incidents occurred?

It would be good to see if the culprit/s were eventually dealt with.

You say it was a 'Targeted house'.
Is that the one where the whole street suffered incidents of crime/vandalism.
It's good of you to inform us of these things but we need as much info as possible to ensure that things have been improved.

If you've forgotten the address, the date will help!

Ah ha! So it isn't only me that saw through the vagueness of everything, after the detailed descriptions of events.

Sickens me. There's enough genuine horrors in life.

Oh no, you`ve ruined it for the rest of us who`ve been acting dumb. The vagueness was hillarious.

I am even dumber..what's going on here??

I REALLY don't understand. Never have gotten my head round this troll lark and how and why anyone wants to play mind games on a non mind game site. I thought BE was to offer help, opinion and experiences both good and bad to others with an interest in moving to another place....silly me!!!!!

Just off to mess with someones brain.

Sorry.
It was late and I'd had a glass of wine or 3 at an xmas party.
I did mean to pass this on by & leave you to the cat 'n mouse, but saw Daves post & felt awful he was drawn to write of a really terrible personal family experience on the back of some daft buggers thread.


Please feed the troll. It's Christmastime after all.

He shouldn't have used such a big piece of bait. It was a tad over the top making it too bad to be true IMO

You really have to be joking about the drug problem or the racism. I've never seen such rampant drug use as the UK has, it is totally pervasive. And shall we mention the BNP? And that's without including pretty much every 'working class' person I've ever met in the UK being racist.
