General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I picked my youngster up from the youth disco last night - I go in the car after being mugged previously when on foot - and a group of about 8 young 'chavs' just stood and blocked the exit whilst the 'moshers', who numbered about 200, had to squeeze past them. The idea seemed to be that they would start trouble with anyone who bumped into them. My son reckons the chavs can't be challenged by the authorities because they just stand there, but they will follow single moshers down the quieter streets and then pounce. The atmosphere was (for me) genuinely frightening. My son was surprisingly relaxed about it all - "it happens every week". I find it all very depressing.
