NSC decides, advice please

[Elder for England]

I would of said 17 is too young but it looks as though I'm in the minority. It does depend on the person of course, but generally speaking boys are slightly more immature. -oh dear-

not for me,that a noooooo

I'd say a cautious 'yes'. In some mediterranean countries such as Spain (don't Know about Greece) anyone under the age of 18 is legally a minor, so you could find yourself summoned out there if he gets too pissed and finds himself enjoying the local police hospitality (as happened to a schoolmate of mine when I was the same age as young Shingle)

I went at 17 to Ibiza, had a cracking time. If he's a sensible lad, let him go.

 

[Napper]

if was a girl then no.

A bloke - yes, i had my first holiday at 17 and was a good learning curve at the time

Pack him with Jonnys, advise him what to do if medical emergency ...... he'll be fine

 

[Garage_Doors]

Well if hes paying , YES.
if he wasnt.... still yes.

Agree the first one, but not the second.
If he's old enough to earn the money himself then then he should go.

Ask yourself this, do you trust him to do the right thing, even if pissed and under peer pressure, if the answer is yes then let him go. We don't know him, so it MUST be your judgement not a poll on NSC.

At 18 I think I'd have been alright/safe, but then I have always been a boring sensible buzzkill type of bloke!

Thanks everyone for your inputs and advice

I've just told him he can go.

Oh just read this!
