Am I Victor Meldrew
Discussion
Okay, During the summer holidays I was forced to taking a day off at home with the kids.
We were having a nice day, when BUZZZZZZZ a Go-Ped with a seat and gangly looking youth goes zooming up the culde sac, on to the pavings at the end and then across the grass towards another cul de sac. A couple of minutes later another youth comes past.
Now I'm guessing that the lack of helmet, no number plates and lights and the age of the youths makes the whole thing illegal.
So I phone 999. Anyway it goes quiet for a couple of hours before it starts again and a police car actually turns up so I can tell him the problem. He comes back half an hour later, he's caught 5 kids with it, been round the the owners mums house given him a bollocking and thought he'd let me know the score.
Fine Day, until I tell the wife on her return from work.
Apparently I'm a busybody, who makes victor meldrew look good. I should mind my own business and let these little sods terrorise the nice neighbour hood, after all, she says, my Nephew had a busybody phoning the police about his skate boarding on the pavement.
And this is nothing to what I got up to when I was a lad.
I don't care. I'll dob the buggers in again tomorrow if OI have to. Apparently I'm just a twat !!

Pull your mobile phone out and point it at them like its a camera, don`t say anything.
Usually they will go and play somewere else.
Right so you expect me to go and buy a mobile they won't laugh at ?
My Bright Orange Bosch Brick from late last century does me fine, but kids tend to piss themselves.
The 'go play elsewhere else' suits me fine, I used to be part owner of a Lambretta 200 (at the age of 13) which got pushed to the National Trust / Sefton Council Dunes and Red Squirel Pine woods and then to an empty end of the beach (where you can just about see the 100 daft statues further down at Crosby) and the 5 of us (each putting in £3.50 for a 5th share of the thing and 60p to fill it with pre mix) would take it in turns to rag the ass off it
Unfortunately, for this generation, These days the National Trust, Sefton Council and The Police have access to a quad bike and in the summer the beach and dunes are 'heavily policed'
