Some duck out the back for a quiet joint after work, some smoke in the alleyways on the way to their Friday Beer'o'Clock local, some just toke openly while walking down the Terrace at lunchtime or on the way home. Nobody really cares, it's not uncommon and a quick glance around usually reveals smirks and winks as our favourite bouquet wafts on the air. But this week, a bucket bong was found in the toilet cistern of the building where I work Building management aren't too happy (or knowledgeable) and sent out an email to all tenants asking for the act…

A man, 39, was arrested at the warehouse. Another ma…
