What were you doing instead of rioting when you were a "youth"?

[Colossal Squid]

Personally I used to smoke a LOT of marijuana, so rioting would have seemed like way too much effort.

The police just need to pass out some pills and herb and I GUARANTEE you all this fussing and fighting would disappear

 

[daveinprague]

I still do!

 

[Pat McCrotch]

Trashing. its like rioting, but on a smaller, more discreet scale.

 

[Mackenzie]

Press ups.

 

[smudge]

Played football down the rec'. Then when I was old enough I wanted to see the world, but we didn't expect something for nothing in those days, so I joined the RN at 17.

 

[Colossal Squid]

I still do!

And let me guess, you don't feel any need to riot do you?

Working and drinking mainly.

Lego and Nintendo.

 

[Rookie]

Playing football in the street/park and getting chased off by who ever's car/garage/front door we hit

 

[clif26]

We used to go down to Brighton on our Lambrettas and have massive punch ups with the rockers

 

[backson]

Wanking, mostly

 

[Gritt23]

Playing and watching football, as well as studying for exams.

Y'see, like these yobs, I wanted all the nice shiny things that were displayed in shop windows, but unlike these yobs, I went down the slow old fashioned route of educating myself, getting a good job, and being able to buy them.

Had the threat of my Farthers belt if i stepped out of line-hard but fair did not need to use it after the first couple of times....made my own fun.

Hard in London i would imagine if your a lad or lass,who does live on a large estate,and do not want to be part of the gang culture.

What do they do?

 

[The Large One]

Playing football and making tea.

Not at the same time, mind.

[Byrne & Small]

Run out!! 3 on post the Rest run and hide for most of the evening until found. Altho this did involve some police interventions, from then it was run away from the Fuzz!!!

 

[Gritt23]

Wanking, mostly

I don't care which political party it is, I will vote for them forever more, if a politician was to announce today that "these young men need to get a grip of themselves, stop running riot through the streets and get back to some good honest wanking. That's how we relieved tension in my day."

Judging by the age of some of them, watching Jackanory!!
