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 place 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 the 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 thorough 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.
We were all asked to pass this to as many people as possible."

Pretty obviously amended from an american original, the CDC is a US organisation..
It beggars belief that people will give and credibility to random emails, or believe that the police and health service use randomly transmitted "tell everyone" emails to communicate things like that. They use press releases and the media...
One of the guys i work with from time to time sat down in a seat on a train and got a jab in the backside. He stood up and pushed on the seat and saw a long needle poking though the seat. He crapped himself thinking it was a hypodermic and cut the seat open with his knife, and withdrew an upholstry needle left behind by someone repairing the seat in the past. He keeps the needle in his tool pouch and showed it to me, it looked really nasty..
Got sent an e mail about this from the office , im more likely to be bitten by an angry badger than sit on a needle , the internet (E-mail) seems to be an ideal way of spreading crap and making people panic and become paranoid , any e mails i get with warning must read or such crap heads stright for the delete bin , cant be doing with some prat rambling complete bollox
