That really only works on certain teenagers....

Would help cut down on teenage pregnancies!

Of course my offspring should be exempt.

Yes it's on the trouble in Porty thread.
Does anyone know which leisure establishment it was?
Bowling, Baths, Amusements?

I've heard good things about castration too....could be worth giving it go for a trial period??

So, if the wee villain wins his appeal are they going to get sown back on again? Where would they be kept when removed? Reminds me of the old gag about how to castrate a horse painlessly by banging two bricks together. Keep your thumbs out of the way.

Seriously though, I've just read about the attack on the pool staff and that is just plain cowardly wickedness. I hope the scumbags who did it are caught and punished appropriately and that the police are out in numbers tonight and every Friday.

At that time of night not the Baths?? Sounds more like the Amusements?

Ear rings? Necklace? Made into a small purse?

Was it the Pool that they attacked? None of the reports name where it happened, just that it was on The Prom.
Seems to have been an exceptionally bad night on friday. luckily not as bad as last night in London

Noticed a rather large gathering on the Prom last night, then 2 policemen came along and taked to them for a while. A wee while later the teenagers drifted off. Don't know where they went.

used to have bother from teens at the amusements on the High Street , so quiet now they have closed ,you can walk home with out the "pleasure"of a football in the back of the neck , now know where they have all gone. Agree with previous posts sure the kids are not all local.

Police here at last, but the teens have probably run away by now. Hate seeing that level of violence - what on earth could have happened to make it worth attacking each other with weapons?

Do you know where your kids are tonight???? Majority looked about 14 ish male and female but some older ones were yielding sticks and attacking the younger ones.

Was this them?

I do believe you're right BC

There's even a "hoodie" in the foreground

Bit of gossip.
I heard that of half a dozen arrests on the "disturbance night " none of them were local

According to the police report at last night's CC meeting, several arrests have been made in conjunction with the attack at the amusements . Some are female and some male and as you say none of them are from Portobello, but are scattered far and wide - some outwith Edinburgh.
