Good boy, zero for conduct...
London is the cocaine capital of Europe, with the highest concentration of the drug in its waste water, a report revealed yesterday.
Scientists found sewage in the city contained more traces of the class A drug than anywhere else surveyed. It is passed into the network in the urine of users.
The amount peaks on Friday and Saturday, sampling by the Lisbon-based European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction showed.
Then it falls off as the drug-using population recovers on a Sunday, and continues to go down as they return to work on Monday.
The research found levels in London slightly higher than those in Amsterdam, with 737 mg for every 1,000 people in the British capital compared to 716 mg in the Dutch city. The next city in the league was Antwerp in Belgium, at 632 mg.

The report said Britain continues to have the highest rate of cocaine use among young adults in Europe.
Around one in 24 people aged between 15 and 34 in the UK admitted taking the drug in the last 12 months.
The 4.2 per cent level in this country was almost a point higher than that in Spain, which was second highest with 3.3 per cent of youngsters taking cocaine in the previous year, and more than double the EU average of 1.9 per cent.
The finding was one of a series of figures showing that the UK has some of the highest rates of drug use in Europe.
The report also showed that nearly one in 10 people in Britain aged between 15 and 64 have taken cocaine in their lifetime - the second highest in Europe.
