WHILE waiting for a bus in Bath Road recently, imagine my surprise when I was surrounded by a gang of pint-sized soccer hooligans disguised in school uniform.

After throwing a bottle of coke over each other, then having a "who can scream the loudest" contest, it was followed by "who can get on the bus first". I came last in that one.

A thought now crossed my mind. If the old adage that "manners maketh man" be true, I know a certain group of young people who are in for a very, very long adolescence.

MR I J DAVID,

Bunns Road,
