Contrary to some of the trolling above, the overwhelming majority of us did not behave like this in our youth.
Every year, it's exactly the same - without fail: A small number of people, mainly in cars but with the occasional motorcycle - spending the spring and summer months behaving like utter morons. I cannot say if they're local, or just visiting - but it's often the same vehicles over and over again. For example, in the last few weeks I have witnessed: Handbrake turns and burnouts (well, attempts at); Highly excessive speed (I'm talking 60mph+ here, not 32mph); Timed laps racing around Gold Hill Common; Rubbish thrown out of moving cars - at pedestrians and other vehicles; Stupidly loud music from parked cars, well into the small hours (loud enough to rattle windows and trigger the occasional car alarm). Harumph!

i never screamed around in the evenings wearing out tyres and using fuel for entertainment ( i was too busy working to try and save up enough to buy a set of wheels, road tax and insurance, )
but my concern is these 'racers' are wreckless, the other night the motorbike had no lights on, - it was gone 1am....it was also travelling at high speed, - doing stunts on a public highway... are they insured ? if there is a collision who picks up the bill, if someone or something is damaged ....what next ? if they really are so sad that smoking tyres for fun and the 'need' to do donuts go find a deserted carpark at 1am where the likelihood to collide with another road user is reduced

No I never did it while I was younger either! And I don't much appreciate it now. GODDESS is referring to this post I made in April about lack of feast day entertainment:
The adults who run the scouts and guides are on the organising committee, and not just for Feast Day either. As I say it's the same volunteers doing lots of things in the village. You don't really seem to understand how big an event this is. And underage drinking, is the tip of the iceberg, a large number of adults are as bad. The issues of drinking to hospitalisation and other injuries and scuffles, excessive on street littering, damage to cars, gardens and properties on the routes away from the event, littering on the green to the extent it has taken all day to clear up and beyond. The outrage is not about the underage drinking, we've all been there and done that, it's the behaviour of the people at the event and whilst under the influence that's the problem. Most of the stall holders are voluntary organisations or very small local businesses by and large and we already do help with stewarding. Nobody at all is making a lot of 'business' out of this event, as I say, I'm not totally sure you understand the issues but you would be more than welcome as a volunteer to help organise and give the committee your idea's, they need people who are passionate about the event and you clearly feel passionately about it, come and get involved, they'd love to have you on board. Which as you can see is not relevant at all, nor is it me excusing bad behaviour, although interestingly GODDESS trolled that post too. |

Ah ! So it's you then GODDESS, tearing about the streets late at night keeping people awake! And no, I did not do this when I was younger. I was brought up to respect others, not disrespect them.

Personally I never did that as a youngster and even if someone did it doesn't mean its ok for people to ride round like lunatics risking lives. Nice trolling by the way, Flyboy?Pants 2 tight? Nessun Dorma?

I've only commented that they were out and about, not necessarily complaining. And if you want to quote me from previous posts please quote me correctly or cut and paste my quote. I really don't like trolling if you're interested, that I do complain about.......

Yes, they were out and about at about 8.30pm doing the by-pass/lower road combo and up and down Kingsway then they stopped, they clearly went for a break and then headed out again later!
