There's alot in the press at the moment about gangs wearing hoodie's.
They've been banned from wearing the hoods in shopping centres, along
with baseball caps. So it seemed a good topic tonight on the way back from band.

Update: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/4561399.stm
'Bluewater shopping centre enjoyed a sharp rise in visitor numbers on the first weekend since it banned youths wearing hooded tops and baseball caps.'

and this great story - 'make it part of the school uniform - how uncool would that make it!'

This is in The Street gallery as it is still the street we live in, although at this
point it's called Mannings Lane! This is the point where the M53 motorway crosses it.

The local 'youth' is Christopher humouring his Dad on the way back from band rehearsal!
Quite appropriate as he and his Mum had had a generation gap type discussion on the fashion merits of the hoody last night.

Didn't quite come out like I wanted. Maybe should have gone close-up from below. Or perhaps sent him down into the more poorly lit section - the lights were really bright.
Not sure. But it was 10pm and I couldn't do another collage!

Will try to catch-up with PaDs this weekend :)
