I hear it has a 'posh' area, where the council dare not send the unwanted and the unwashed, for the Nimby spirit is strong in those parts. Is this true? Can the Midlands deliver?

Had a good one last night. We had a friend round for dinner and walked her back to the tube station at about 1030pm. Our station is only 100m away but its about just near a busy road, is very quiet and under an underpass (of the tube). Its pretty quiet late at night and my girlfriend thought we should walk her friend back.. Whatever.
Turns out there was 3 chavs smoking weed in the stairs, only just leaving enough room to get past. I don't have an issue with smoking weed but 3 guys sitting in a deserted station blocking the way is quite intimidating. So we decided to call the non emergency BTP number when we got home.
The great thing is from our balcony we could see where they are sitting. So, just as we were getting bored of waiting for any plod to turn up, 2 BTP and 3 plain clothes (drug squad?) swooped from opposing directions. Proceeded to search them all. It was very funny.
If I was those guys I would be seriously embarrassed. Who would smoke weed in such a public place? Its a quiet station but we wouldn't have been the only people to walk last them.
Like I say, we weren't fussed about the weed but who know what they were waiting for there. Maybe waiting for a single drunk girl to come past? Who knows.
We thought it was funny anyway. Did our good deed for the night

Clearly, sir, you've never been to Basingstoke or Slough!
Surprised so many coppers turned up. Must've been a slow night!

Two guys sharing a joint walked past me on my street at 3pm the other day, I'm surprised you're surprised.

Weren't there a rumour on the radio the other day that someone's trying to introduce a bill in this parliament to legalise the stuff? Mind, it's the synthetic stuff that gets the critters riled up, apparently it's quite potent and grey-legal!
I never said I was surprised. I'm surprised they picked that spot though as it was only a matter of time before somebody reported them.
Like I said I didn't mind the weed, it was sitting there staring down anyone who walked past and generally trying to intimidate. They weren't kids..
Bet they were super paranoid after lol.

They must reward you with colourful accompaniment!
There is no such thing as "trying to intimidate". You either felt intimidated or you didn't because intimidation is subjective, you cant deflect/externalise/project an internal emotional response.
I've been in situations involving hardened gangsters, so to me and most other men, finding a measly "chav" intimidating just from their gaze is comedy gold
Did these guys actually take interest in anyone's business except theirs? Did they even say anything to you?
What's worrying is that you pre-emptively call the police for no other reason than they were "trying to intimidate". Why not just leave their business to them and let someone who actually got affected by them call the police, if anyone did?
Also the belief that you have done a good deed. You might want to realise people from the neighbourhood who loiter around are actually the first people who would rush to help if they witnessed something ACTUALLY bad going on in their neighbourhood.
Who's to say you didn't cause the removal of vital witnesses for some ACTUAL crime which took place 2 minutes after the officers had to shift them on??
Who's to say those three guys smoking their joint didn't deter someone else from an opportunistic crime minutes earlier?
What if the diversion of those officers allowed some opportunistic crime to take place somewhere where the officers would have been randomly passing if you hadn't intervened?
Just remember that the world doesn't revolve around you and certainly not around what you assume is intimidating.

Minding your own business like a true gentleman I see.
That other dude above was probably ****ed off he wasn't sharing a nice joint with his buddies and had to stay at home for a boring dinner date with his girlfriend's friends

Not really a story, but my mum and her partner went to a place called the Crook Log in Bexleyheath for a carvery today. It's always been a nice place. Decent clientèle and relaxing atmos. She said its become a hive of chav activity. Baseball caps, constant loud swearing and screaming kids galore.
Sad when places end up like this. Can't these people just act normal and civilised instead of making everyone else miserable.

Of course you have pumpkin

Well I have no idea about the gang situation in Buckinghamshire, and I wont pretend to either, so don't pretend you know the situation in London either.
London's well publicised gang culture, knife crime, gun crime, postcode wars, etc. is certainly going to be a big secret to you if you're outside the M25 isn't it.

Have you been smoking weed too bruv?
I was going to post a longer reply to asim. But you know, asim.. Not worth my time. You seem to forget that they were commuting multiple crimes anyway- ignoring the technicalities of cannabis which I don't understand, they were smoking on the station which is one, and didn't have tickets which is two. Smoking cannabis makes it three. And you could argue that loitering in a group is a fourth too, I dunno.
Long story short, chavvy youths like that annoy me so it was fun to report them and see what happened.

Yeah, I have never seen a more obnoxious or badly behaved set of supposedly "working class" anywhere I've been in Europe. Our chav element have almost zero basic decorum, decency, or respect for others.

No, you are comedy gold. I mean seriously... you're like a 15-year old in a schoolground. Hilarious post, and probably worthy of a sig quote.
