 Mildew throws the Squat in the desired direction, then looks round. There's a lot of Squats, and she's not going to be able to handle all of them herself. This is a job for a dedicated team.
-Mildew goes off to find the officers of the Skronky Pot Protectors Society. Although technically run by Mildew, manager of The Skronky Pot, these Squats will obey her soon enough.

 Biggs "Oi! Lerrus through, Im goin' down 'ere you dick'eads!" "No yer fackin' not!" "Yes oi iz!" "No yer fackin' not! New one way system innit? Orders of Skronkys! Yer goin' that way!"

 Biggs is tempted to use his fists, but knows that getting into trouble with the S.P.P.S. and hence the Skronkys, is a bad idea, so he contents himself with a "Fackin' dick'eads" and goes where he is told.

 Biggs has to go right instead, bringing him back onto Brawlin' Street Like and hence back to the other end of All That Other Shite Way, which is still one way, but going in the opposite direction. How can this be?
-Biggs is carried along by the crowds getting thicker and thicker until it reaches the stream of traffic coming in the other direction, right in the middle of Shopliftin' Avenue. Now there is only one way to go. Into Booz.

-Mildew Skronky is delighted with the brisk trade that she is doing. Scores, if not hundreds of Squats are being driven into Booz. And once inside doing what comes naturally. More Squats are coming in all the time. Booz is absolutely ram packed with Squats now. Most of them smoking.
+Mildew Skronky is delighted. It turns out that 'traffic management' and 'congestion control measures' are more useful than she'd realised. Scores of Squats are being driven into the Pot and once inside are donating their phlegm. Not always voluntarily it's true but that's a minor detail.
-The pub has thick clouds of smoke billowing out of it. A Mutant who had been passing through on the way to Improbable Central sees the clouds of smoke, and jumps to the wrong conclusion.
+Business is so brisk that many Squats are kicked out the back entrance again without being paid and what with so such a wave of Squats coming out, no way of getting back in again to complain. The Pot is absolutely ram packed with Squats now. Most of them smoking.

 It must be on fire! He tries to do his civic duty, and, grabbing what looks like a bucket of water off a Squat wedged next to him, throws it in the door.
-Thuggins Skronky has had his bucket of beer suddenly grabbed out of his hands! He watches in horror as it is thrown in the door of the drinking establishment and, catching a lit cigarette, starts burning.

 Thuggins is incensed at this, and starts to give the Mutant a lesson in civic duty that he'll never forget. He certainly won't make that mistake again.
-Thuggins lays into the Mutant as the fire in Booz starts to spread. Nearby Squats have to choose between joining in the punch up, or escaping the fire. Most of them opt for the punch up.

 Thuggins is at the centre of a rapidly growing riot, next to a burning building, in a densely packed street. Congestion management. Squat style.
