Well - knock me down with a feather! Isn't it sad that so many inocent things are viewed with this fear, but then, there will always be the mindless few who will go too far and spoil things for the majority.I wonder if the Council litter Wardens will be on hand to ticket the feather-droppers!

AH! students...then i stand corrected sir,in my experience students have knowledge but no sense and more especially,no common sense.students get away with things simply because they are students.were the pranks they play to be used on a council estate,or somewhere like that,then the purpetraters would no doubt be reported as scum or vandals etc...but no no ,they're students,so thats ok.as the great paul calf is likened to say 'students? bag o [edited for content]!'

There was due to be a mass pillow fight yesterday at woodhouse Moor arranged via Facebook until the police stepped in and advised the organiser of their serious concerns.it was withdrawn and didn't go ahead.

I think you'll find this event in the lead message which started this thread Steve.
