Comments:Norfolk youths banned from buying eggs and ketchup

Norfolk teens, I'm talking to YOU.
Sayeth the article: While squirting ketchup itself is not a criminal offence, the damage that it can cause, such as removing paint from cars or houses, is often enough to bring charges of criminal damage.

To every Norfolk teen who's reading this: WAKE UP!! What's to keep the Norfolk government from making it illegal for you to buy some other equally ordinary product just because a few people who happen to be your age (and who you don't even know exist) use it to cause trouble? The solution is for the authorities to deal with the ones who are actually doing this, not make it illegal for teens to buy the stuff.

And to teens everywhere else: DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN WHERE YOU LIVE!!

The aftermath
This is certainly going to make it difficult for kids to make their parents a traditional breakfast in bed. Chris Mann (Say hi!|Stalk me!) 05:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Ha ha!
This is pretty disgraceful behaviour on behalf of the supermarkets and police IMHO. Prejudice and ostracising the young are not the answers to problems like this. However, with myself living around 5 miles from Caister-On-Sea and knowing several of the natives, I'm not remotely surprised that this story happened there. We should just rename the whole place ASBOville and merge it with Great Yarmouth or at least have it twinned with Cobholm. Hey police! Why not try actually PROSECUTING youths for crimes they COMMIT! Then there will actually be a reason for them to behave! Shane.Bell - (talk) 07:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

DUH
Norfolk folks have decided to declare themselves queer... Good for them, I'll be watchful of places that I visit from now on, Norfolk won't be one of them. And kids will be buying eggs next town for sure, let it spread nationwide to prove how a totalitarian (and unavoidably stupid) approach can never work, good job UK, good job... Bet you cops still ride horses with funny caps on your heads... That's the way how things work apparently...
