fields, kids playgrounds, clothes bins etc. I'm sure some brats always did set fire to things, just seems to have got worse. Maybe we just hear/see more of it.

Yes, there is a tendency to assume things are worse now because of (a) reporting bias and (b) age.
(b) is important, because, aged 15 how much attention did you pay to what the local youth population were doing? Not that much because you were out doing what the local youth population were doing (mostly)

Round my way, when I was a 'youth', my peers set like to bales of hay.

Just seen a tweet to the effect that Stagecoach Cumbria have had to suspend their 77/77a service (which serves the area around Catbells and Grange) because illegal parking has made the road impassable. That will be a shame for the old lady who depends on the bus to get to Keswick for her shopping

Somewhere on Facebook there's a film that was on ITV news (north/borders/whichever) yesterday. Looks f'ing awful.

are you home now NE, or still enjoying the weather?
Hoping it won't be quite as busy later on in the week as the bank holiday, getting out early with mum in tow isn't so easy.

Ros - no, back in North Yorkshire again. Wasn't too well yesterday, so hot-footed it home. Am thinking it might not have been wise to drink out of certain ghylls on Saturday!
