It's so true Jason (as I stuff another donut down my face...lol)! And in America the number of grade school children who are obese and/or on antidepressants is alarming!

And the good foods are sometimes hard to come by or are really expensive!! Seems to be "if there is a problem stuff it with something" food, drinking...and so on.

Friday night and saturday night are a nightmare for the police and ambulance services here. Even the fire crews get attacked! The very people who work to help the public! There has to be some disipline installed. How, I really don't know! Edited by: Babs ' at:28th May 2009 10:21 My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

You also have to be 18 to purchase alcohol from off liciences and supermarkets etc. It doesn't stop older kids buying it for the younger ones though. They drink it in the streets and the results are horrendous. The violence amongst the younger generation is awful. Just two days ago a lad of 13 was arrested on suspicion of murder. I think I am at saturation point now, I'm not surprised at anything anymore. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
