fewer dealers about??

[Droppin']

I never get propositioned on the streets (even when I ran out once two nights before a party and needed to get some pills and actually went looking). I can only think it is because I walk really fast so either:

1) I just don't hear it
1) They see me moving quickly and think I'm departing pretty quicksmartish from something I've done that I shouldn't (so could have police in tow)
or
3) Think I'm off my head already to be walking that quick

Nor have I been beaten up at a cash machine in Brixton or had my phone nicked

I appreciate I am tempting fate, but thieves, muggers and dealers must avoid me like the plague.

Closest I got was a radical-Islamist chucking religion in my face and getting a little shirty when I said I wasn't interested.

Actually I've got a friend in the force...maybe I pick up piggy stink?

Good job...You'd have most likely got ripped off anyway.

Weather, but generally the dealers are more about in the dark, most dealers dont go out to work on road unless its dark, seemingly they "feel safer"

Maybe things have changed but this is what the 2004 Lambeth Crime Audit says about drug offences:

When are the key times?

All Drug Offences (including Prostitution offences):

• August had the least number of drug offences, and October had the most. There did not seem to be any significant seasonal variation to the drug offences

• Drugs offences peaked between Tuesday and Friday, with over 500 offences being recorded on each of those days over the year. Sunday was significantly lower, with only half the average number of offences for any particular weekday

• The majority of drug offences/ arrests occur later in the day. There were more arrests between 21.00 hours and 22.00 hours (over twice the average number of arrests for any hour period of the day). Less than 1 in 13 offences occur between 04.00 hours and 10.00 hours
