You quite lost me there louisiana. I'm guessing s***ker? Is that a rude word? I went through smacker, skunker, skanker and swanker (whatever that is) before settling on s***ker. The residents association on the langford green estate asked the police to send more patrols around our way. I believe they politely said they'd do their best, but that there are 20+ estates in Southwark classes as severe knife problem estates and at least a couple marked as gun problems, and that our estate and the neighbouring champion hill one were relatively oases of law abiding calm. In fact apart from a couple of speeding vans and xr3is, I haven't really seen a hint of trouble,
