So they try to prevent underage drinking, the notices in the local Somerfield now say that if you look under 25 you have to show I.D., I know they still get away with it somehow, but the 2 litres of Strongbow shared between your mates in the park and then disposing of the bottle in the hedge and giggling all the way trying to pretend you are not tipsy is a rite of passage.
You can't buy fags unless you are 18 and have I.D., so the quick fag behind the bikeshed is a no no, unless you are a homosexual of course.
Come to that, it's such a palava to get on your bike, knee pads, elbow pads, safety helmet, reflective jacket that the kids these days can't be arsed so no one rides to school so no bikesheds to have a quick fag behind, so even the homosexuals are caught out on that one.
Some places have put a curfew on younsters, getting them off the street by nine or ten o'clock, thus eliminating the underage drinking in the next town and then having to run to catch the last bus, missing it and having to walk 3 miles home whilst desperately trying to think up a plausible story about 'where've you've been til this time.'
Now a council in the South, Brighton or Bournemouth maybe, has come up with the idea of supplying flip flops free of charge to the squiffy girls and boys, because some of the shoes are difficult to walk in when you've had one over the eight, in which case one used to take one's shoes off and walk home barefoot, but the Helath and Safety bods say that they can't be doing that, it is not acceptable to walk about with no footwear on, there could be an accident.
Puhleez!

After readi...
