Friends,
This message is serious and has been passed to us from Cheshire RFU..
Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came through our NHS web page.
For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the Odeon cinema, Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the seat with an attached note saying, “You have been infected with HIV”.
The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar events have taken places in several other cities recently.
All of the needles tested have been found positive for HIV. The CDC also reports that needles have been found in coin return areas of payphones and coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A through visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further more, they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the potential dangers, as well.
The previous information was sent from Hanley police station to all of the local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally dispersed.
Lol, Hanley is part of Staffordshire so Staffordshire Police would deal with the affairs. Cheshire Police wouldn't get involved I shouldn't think. The cinema in question is around the corner from me and they know nothing of this incident! Come to Hanley, the shitest place on earth!
Oh and me mum works for NHS direct and hasn't heard any of this and she really high up in the ranks!
