Maybe the smackheads had more class back then even though there was a big heroin problem at the time - maybe they have it delivered to the door - so they just rob their ma and neighbours for the money...

When I started a job in Bootle, I drove past the 'Welcome To Bootle' sign, and underneath was a burnt out car, and next to it were two shagging dogs. They should make a red-brick (in tradition with every house being built now) cast of a burnt out car with two shagging dogs next to it as a symbol for the north end. I thought it was quite apt.
