The building our flat is in used to be an industrial facility and there is a loading dock in the basement. This was on the doorway. (lemmy.world)

The entire loading dock was empty, so I don't think it was very effective.

But they knew exactly what they've got, how could this happen

I guess they went missing... after stealing it all.

I mean do they got what they had anymore?

You got to love the betting shop paper they used...

There's a Ladrboke's and a Betfred literally across the street from each other just around the corner. And a tiny casino next to the Betfred. Apparently people are very willing to gamble in Blackburn.

Apparently people are very willing to gamble to get out of Blackburn.

Is that Blackburn or 1920s Chicago, you dirty rat?

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Fun fact:

Chicago comes from the Algonquin language meaning "stinky onions".

Blackburn comes from the Sooties language meaning "economic decline".

[I feel a bit bad about this comment since it's unnecessarily mean. Horse Botherers are real people too!]

Possibly both, because I don't know that Al Capone was one for calling people twats.

They sound angry, you should probably put it all back.
