It seems to be something that the writers have just forgotten about. I know that if you are at a certain level in the drugs trade it is very difficult to get out. The people who bring the drugs into the country do not want to deal with the end users. They want to divide their drugs up into smaller packages, which they asign to "wholesalers" who then divide it further or deal directly with the users. If you are at wholesale level, you are at the top of a chain. If you want to stop and get out, you not only remove your self but your whole chain. The people at the very top will not like this. I knew someone who smoked cannabis, so he started to buy some extra and sell it on to friends, for a profit, that way he was getting his personal use free. Over a number of years, he changed from being a "hippie type," getting his smoke free, to being at the top of quite a large chain. Then he was offered some cocaine and repeated the process, but now he was dealing with hard-core criminals not other hippies. When he wanted to stop there was no way the top guys would let him, as they did want to lose his chain. He wanted to buy a hotel and become legit, but how would he explain having that much money to HMRC, when to them he was an unemployed bricklayer. On one occasion I saw well a quarter a million pounds piled up on a table. But this is working capital, so cannot be spent, even without the HMRC problem. By this time it was affecting his health, he had an ulcer, he had weapons, knives and clubs hidden all over his house, in case some other dealers tried to rip him off or steal his money. Eventually the police put his door in in the early hours, and I think he found it a relief to go to prison. At last he was out. The drugs "business" is no different from legitimate businesses like selling soap, beans or TVs, just the legality of it. Soap's tend to over simplify it. I would imagine Ravi is still in "business" we just do not see it, until the script demands it.Quote:

Think The Red witch must have wore the troosers!
If they are trying to make it look like Phil has let himself go, they might be better to have stopped him shaving his head and his chin, rather than let the kitchen get a bit messy, that just makes him look busy.!
Philth has to make an effort for when he goes outQuote:

They always seem to overdo things. No matter how drunk she is, Linda still seems to came up with come backs when arguing with Elaine, instead of just falling down and mumbling incoherently.Quote:

Totally agree with that. The words mutton and lamb come to mind. But then again, I suppose everyone has the right to dress as they like, even if it is not very flattering.Quote:

It did add an extra touch of drama to Cindy being turned out on Christmas night and left lying in the snow. Blood spilled on the tarmac visual image of blood on the snow. Shame everywhere else is having a mild christmas.
I have heard that the snow in Walford has cost Bookies a fortune.Quote:

Walford police have obviously never heard of John Stonehouse or The Canoe man.
I just think that he didn't want to call him Philth.Quote:

I say keep Nish and kill off Suki, the fans of her and Eve would revoltQuote:

That must have been very good medicine the doctor gave Nish, he went from hardly being able to stand, to bashing Denise and Vinny over the head and overpowering Suki. Where did he get the poison - Deliveroo?
