What's the significance of the rebuilt roman fort area? Is that where Adam Pickup was found? I remember driving round there in the middle of the night with my mates looking for somewhere quiet to stop and eat our takeaways like 10 years ago. It frightened us that much we drove straight out. You'd have to be very brave to wander round there under the arches at night alone. But then that goes the same for wandering along a canal. That's one of the things I don't get. I used to get totally wasted when I was younger and quite a few times end up on my own getting home, but it didn't make me fearless of any type of surroundings. I remember once leaving Sankeys alone and was pretty frightened just walking back to Piccadilly alone, the area around the clubs a desolate wasteland. Quite at odds with the way the media see these young men getting drunk, turning into zombies and helplessly falling into canals etc. Also interesting is the fact it took the police quite a while to find some of the missing. Surely the area around train stations and canals is quite high up there in terms of where to look. The Chris Brahney incident I found quite strange. My initial understanding was he'd wandered down the other side path to the riverside with the low wall and ledge. My own theory was he may have been peering/balancing on the wall having a cig and a car horn had sounded, engine starting, and spooked him and sent him over the ledge. There's a car park there. However I've recently realised its an apartments ledge a few strides along. I find it odd he walked across town with the Primark bag. There were reports he was in Wellies at the concert. Yet I don't think he walked across town in wellies, and if true why didn't he ditch them and the bag. In terms of drugs, a long walk across town could indicate he was high on e and it would probably bring the effects on, the effects can give a heightened adoration of nice views etc, and leave you unable to properly balance/lacking co-ordination on your feet but from what I gather that particular ledge has quite a high surround, which is the obvious baffling point. In terms of the others, the Michael David Plunkett report was very chilling. Young bloke in the fishing pond in Bramhall. Yesterday in the news two men were found dead in Gloucestershire - canal again.
