a mate sent me this link.....i had no idea that these activites happened in such a public spot......neither did i know that "local gangs" operated in the area!!
read the second paragraph titled Features and history an dthe caption under the photo on the RHS under the white horse!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westbury,_Wiltshire
quote:
The horse's original form may have been quite different from the horse seen today. One 18th century engraving shows the horse facing to the right, but in its current form it faces to the left. It is also now a hotspot for local doggers, however these are currently in the process of being driven out by a local gang.

Stevenage has one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in the country, and a higher-than-average rate of family and relationship breakdown. While unemployment is below the national average it is nevertheless the highest in Hertfordshire.
