<p><font size="1"> It says on the VIAGRA website that VIAGRA is not
for everyone and can have some serious side-effects. But none of
these side effects seem to be having any sort of impact on the residents
of Camden and Islington. <br>
<br>
According to statistics from the Department of Health and Pfizer,
Viagra's maker, North Londoners couldn't give a hoot about side
effects: more Viagra prescriptions are being written for the area
than in any other area of Britain. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Pfizer is reluctant to release sales figures but
said North London topped its nationwide table. And separate statistics
from the Department of Health show Camden and Islington Health authority
spends more on Viagra per 1000 of its population than any other
authority in the land. <br>
<br>
Around seven men per 1000 in Camden and Islington are receiving
Viagra, but only men with one of 14 specified conditions such as
diabetes are eligible for the drug on the NHS, which means that
most people are paying up to �10 for each tablet, or they are buying
the little blue pills over the internet.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">If you are a man who uses nitrate drugs (often used
to control angina), they advise, never take VIAGRA. Your blood pressure
could drop to unsafe or life-threatening levels. <br>
<br>
Apparently the most common side effects of VIAGRA are headache,
facial flushing, and upset stomach. Less commonly, bluish vision,
blurred vision or sensitivity to light may briefly occur. <br>
<br>
According to the website, VIAGRA is the #1 prescribed treatment
for Erectile dysfunction. In the United States, nearly 10 million
men have reclaimed their sex life by taking VIAGRA. Doctors in the
United States have prescribed VIAGRA more than 39 million times.
Apparently VIAGRA works by improving a man's response to sexual
stimulation. So a look or a glance could become something much more.
<br>
<br>
Now that's scary! <br>

<p><font size="1">A successful two-day blitz against crime and grime
has cleaned up the streets in Camden Town. Unlicensed street trading,
illegal parking, graffiti, litter and anti-social behaviour were
all targeted in the weekend crackdown, organised by Camden Council's
street improvement scheme the Boulevard Project and Camden police.<br>
<br>
Police made three arrests for the possession of drugs, two for shoplifting,
one for robbery and a further arrest for deception, involving a
stolen credit card. <br>
<br>
The council's street management teams discovered more than 40 trading
and highways offences, including traders blocking pavements and
goods from shops spilling on to the street. <br>
<br>
The food safety team carried out inspections of local shops and
restaurants, while Camden's Grimebuster machine cleaned the streets
and removed graffiti. The aim of the crackdown was to build on the
regular weekend work already carried out by council teams and police
in Camden Town. <br>
<br>
The event was advertised in the local area, warning people that
the action days were taking place.<br>
<br>
Another crackdown is planned for national Make A Difference Day
on October 26. Further blitzs are also in the pipeline, but teams
plan to swoop without warning to catch the illegal traders by surprise.
<br>
<br>
Councillor Barbara Hughes, Executive member for community safety,
said: "The council's teams and the police are working to tackle
these issues every weekend in Camden Town. Action days are a great
way to build on this work and they send a clear message to those
who break the law and cause a nuisance that it won't be tolerated
on our streets." <br>
<br>
PC Phil de Pledge, of Camden police, said: "It was a very successful
weekend and goes to show how working in partnership can have a real
impact on the local area." </font></p>
