This might be interesting to those that suggested that he had swallowed an illegal substance.

[Zacs-Master]

Quoting from a 1970s TV series doesn't really add any weight to the argument that he wasn't doing anything wrong.

[-Talbot-]

Eh?

[Zacs-Master]

So who is the 'Columbo' in your rather strange post?

[-Talbot-]

You said quoting from ... What quote?

Nothing strange about the post. mikey appears to be berating posters who assumed that the object Rashan Charles tried to swallow was drugs ... so I would like to know what mikey thought he was trying to swallow.

[Zacs-Master]

Erm....ok. So what, exactly, was the Columbo reference?

[ummmm]

It was to Mikey...being a detective.

[Zacs-Master]

Ooooooh, I see. I thought we'd moved on from that.

[-Talbot-]

Crikey almighty ... are you going to keep saying stuff?

clearly mikey is more astute than your average Answerbankers when it comes to unknown substance swallowing by man being chased by police ... hence Columbo.

Your turn.....

[-Talbot-]

Did you go to the pub last night, Zacs?

[Zacs-Master]

I had 'my turn' a while ago where I pointed out That one shouldn't assume Charles's innocence until one was familiar with how heroine is mixed with the substances found on him.

I now see you were, somewhat unnecessarily imo, reinforcing that view.

[Zacs-Master]

No Talbot. Couple of strong ciders a la maison tho.

Hopefully Mikey will come back and tell us why he thinks this man attempted to swallow a package containing what he knew to be a legal substance.

[jno]

caught carrying out part of a supply operation where these substances are mixed with heroin

the part where you're not doing anything illegal, though.

Some ABers stated quite confidently that he would have been swallowing drugs. I don't expect to see anyone admitting that they might have been wrong.

[-Talbot-]

ah, you have now spotted that you got the wrong end of the stick, Zacs.
Hence my 'eh' and 'pub' remarks ... but no sweat, it all adds to the fun.

[-Talbot-]

Honest answer ... what did you think he was swallowing, jno.

I don't think I said he was swallowing drugs but if someone gave me a million quid to bet on drugs or sweeties I know where I would put my money.

\\So, according to ZM, anyone who pops into Boots or Superdrug and buys a packet of Panadol Plus, is most likely going to use it to adulterate some heroin.//

Only if they use in a manner other than that prescribed.
