You are suggesting that all teen mums lack ambition, and maybe it does have something to do with sex education. Interestingly though, who defines ambition? What if a teenager has an ambition of having children and a flat? Ambition achieved in that case. |

And I would say talking from personal experience gives you a very good view of Catford.

"What if a teenager has an ambition of having children and a flat? Ambition achieved in that case." Maybe, but perhaps wasted potential. I still maintain that they know everything they need to know about sex, but lack the aspiration to do something other than produce offspring, because they're not exposed to the wider world through good education. Not a single mother by any chance, are you? "And I would say talking from personal experience gives you a very good view of Catford." So, Catford is a unique environment that bears no resemblance to anywhere else in Britain, so my experience thereof is irrelevant? No, it's like parts of every other city in the UK, so it's perfectly reasonable to extrapolate. |

Single mother? Err no, 45 year old married father of four, and no, none of my teenage kids have kids and we started a family in our late 20's.

That's good to know Joopsy. Catford: I teach English as a second language. I was practising "What's it like?" to get students to use adjectives to describe the place they live. "Sergei, you live in Catford. What's it like?" Sergei thought for a few moments and said: "Africa". |

I'm indifferent with mild leanings towards you Binks and leave us alone and stop interfering. We do it with Alcohol and Fags already why not add sugar to the mix.

Sugar Tax - it's an average album by OMD in my opinion. Done by McCluskey on his own, but a bit of late commerical success off the back of the single Sailing on the Seven Seas.
