British girls among the most violent

http://education.guardian.co.uk/pupilbehav...1693394,00.html

All fired up on bacardi breezers and looking for a fight.
Must admitt the nearest i ever got to a fight in the UK was over a taxi and the girls were NASTY, theire boyfriends were trying to calm them down!

Thanks for the warning MT !

I think the headline shows the usual zeal for making out that the UK has the worst problems when that is clearly not the case

The following quote is from your article given.

Bacardi Breezers! luxury! they don't know how lucky they are! in my day it were Liebfraumilch (shudder) or Kestrel Lager tinnies (hurl) (couldn't afford nicer tasting and stronger-alcohol-contented Diamond White/Blush on my paper round money) both horrid tasting AND it took ages to get drunkenly brazen enough to fight.

Saying "British girls among most violent" doesn't mean they're the worst, does it?

pah! luxury!!!
we had to make do with a bottle of Bulmer's Cider *retch* in the garages before going to the teenage disco (no booze!!) and getting beaten up on the way home cos one of us briefly glanced at one of the rough girls' boyfriends
and that was on a good night out, IF WE WERE LUCKY.

Granted but I was trying to point out that The Brirish Press has a definite tendency towards headlines that don't reflect the main body of the findings and instead always err on the side of sensationalistic claptrap or, more simply put, a load of hyped up bollocks !

Sorry if i get excited about this but it really does hack me off when people talk about brits all the time in terms of violent behaviour which in truth is no better or worse than most places, Munich excepted.

I think it's a disgrace, behind Belgium for christs sake!

You want a slap or wot?

*Cough*

These are 11 to 15 year olds. My two year old son fights with his 10 year old sister every bloody minute of the soddin' day.

In my day it was 20/20 (if feeling rich), Hooch or that cheap and nasty cider, whose name is eluding me.

scrumpy jack?

Poofs, "Snakebite" followed by various fights down the "Ocean Rooms" in Gorleston-on-Sea on Thursday nights (if it wasnt raided by the local fuzz first!!!) (early 1980s and it still hasn't changed!!)

Oi! Mate! Your missus is a nutter!

Diamond White?
White Lightning?
You were all posh, my first year at University was fueled by Iceland 2 Litre Extra Strong Dry White Cider at ca. 1,80€ a bottle.

I don't know what is classified as a fight exactly but 60% (for boys) is pretty high!

Max 8.0%?

Yeah diamond white.
Um I wasn't talking about uni, Katrina I was talking about when I was a sweet 13-14 yr old.

Merrydown was another cider that used to get drunk quite a lot. Strangely enough it actually tasted ok if you mixed it 50-50 with Special Brew.

Oh back in those days, twenty years ago... God I feel ancient.

hee the first time you get sloshed is brilliant isn't it?

these days I'm a lot more sophisticated about getting wasted (G&Ts!) though it's taken me 20 years to get this far.

Woodpecker? Could that be the cider you mean, UA?
I think you could be right - that was even cheaper, so it left you with a bit more fag money. Ah, happy teenage years...

violent suggestion for the British girls amongst us:

squirm!!

bloody hell, moonboot!

"Yehr but..no but..

Little Britain is crap

EDIT: IMHO, obv

"Yeh I know!"

OK, fair enough

I got punched by a 15 year old girl in the village where my grandparents live 3 summers ago... she was wasted too. Which was nice.

You will see a selection of British youth (boys and girls) dressed in their best and ready for a night on the town...I am homesick already. (ho ho)

Just another case of research that could be lumped int the "things your grandmother could have told you for nothing" basket.
