The price of cocaine is reported to have fallen during the last few years in most EU countries (EMCDDA, 2005). Street prices of most illicit drugs have been falling in real terms in the UK. A consistent decline in illicit recreational drug prices has been suggested as one of the most significant factors for a rise in stimulant-related fatalities, at least in the case of MDMA/ecstasy.

whatever
Grey Drane (X) May 8, 2006:
No place for repeated carelessness either. But for the record, I used the symbols in place of the expletive specifically NOT to be rude and simply to (I thought lightheartedly) express my frustration at your continued mistakes.
dabro (asker) May 8, 2006:
Never any need for rudeness, especially on a forum. Anyway, I acted in good faith...apologized. Let's just leave it that.
Grey Drane (X) May 7, 2006:
One or two mistakes is fine (to err is human and all that). But over and over and over again? And after repeated reminders (the first few of which were not rude)? Not sure who needs the pill to be honest. Anyway, 'nuff said.
dabro (asker) May 7, 2006:
oh, by the way, I don't know much about netiquette, but next time use the real swear words instead of masking them "$£$"$. That way you can actually show how rude you really are. I don't appreciate nasty comments. People make mistakes, take a pill.
dabro (asker) May 7, 2006:
You're right, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I was putting the wrong pair in. My bad. Feeling better now?
Grey Drane (X) May 7, 2006:
PLEASE stop! Get the translation direction right!
