There was a post by a member using the "Hoots the scoop" account. It expressed, in my opinion, a personal view about other members comments on the forum and included quotes by some members. Thus i removed it and a subsequent post commenting on that hoots post. I hope that clears it up for whoever made the post using that account.

Hoots the scoop is a generic account and seeks to generate and stimulate conversation. If you wish access to this account please PM us. This account does not or should not represent personal views!

I am confused?

'Hoots the Scoop' isn't actually a person??

Explain?

[NelsonL1995]

Nelson1995 instead of WC1 carrying out breath tests going by your spelling maybe more spelling tists wud b in ourder

Why don't you just keep to the subject here?
Your not even in the slightest bit amusing.
Also, '..carrying out breath tests going by your spelling..' I believe you should have a comma in there.

School dances were pish utter whether you were drunk or not.

Aren't children allowed to drink under the supervision of responsible adults? And aren't schoolstaff the vey epitome of responsible adults? You don't want kids drinking on the steets where they could get into trouble, so I think it would be a good idea to have a licensed bar at the school dance.

- Exactly.

Thats a stupid Idea to be honest
Can't see that happening anytime soon anyway.

Aye, was good gettin' half jaked doon' the Cuttin'

it was the norm before the school disco to get a bit of 'dutch courage'.

The quote below was the post that i removed. i think its is suitable to post the comment, as it does raise some very valid points.

Not so much fun for the poor member of staff you threw up all over, or for the nurse that had to pump your stomach out down at the hospital, or the member of the senior management team your 'dutch courage' made you square up to!

Simple fact: if the school hadn't started doing breath tests there would have been no more school dances for the above very obvious reasons.

Mod7, I'm confused. The post was 'removed' from anonymous as it 'offended'. Which i think it did. My comment re 'dutch courage' was referring to a couple of ciders before the school disco to help build some (bravado) courage as in approaching girls to dance and hopefully winch. All part of growing up. I cannot remember me or my friends vomitting over teachers, causing hassle or making a fool of ourselves. Maybe some did. I did not.

To then re-post the comment considering it was anonymous i find a bit baffling. I think the person who 'posted' should at least have some courage to at least name themselves. The post(er) sounded a bit eratic and bitter. This was the 'tone' of the post. Maybe they forget they were once a young adult!!

NelsonL;

You don't have to be honest all the time, it's not compulsory.

But you're right, it was a stupid idea.

Also some brands of mouthwash ... contain measurable amounts of alcohol.

Some poor kids getting freshened up and ready for the winchin' and being refused entry because the alcohol-deterctoring-rector think's they're drunk! You can't make this stuff up!

haha, I prefere being honest. Don't want people to think I'm somthing I'm not.. if that makes sence.

[petewick]

Never puked up over anyone, or had to go to hospital through alcohol taken prior to
a school dance, I consider myself, even at that young age to be mature and responsible
enough to know my limitations, a trait that carries on to this day!

Ok Nelson, The hoots the scoop account is for what it says on the tin (in this case, what it says in the account signature)

It can not be used to express personal opinions. That is why i removed the original post. The only reason i removed it.

The user did quote a few users, but not in a direct way.. they left out the names on the quotes, as the reply was just to show that how things are not always as rosey. some young un's do end up having that bit to much and silly things happen.

Lets not forget, if things do go wrong, then, its nurses, doctors, teachers, police etc that have to pick up the pieces there and then and then the parents have to deal with it as well.

The user wished to stay anonymous, and don't forget there are probably users from each one of those areas using the forum.

The user could be a parent that has had to deal with a child being intoxicated at a dance and doesn't want to drag it through the forum publicly or could be a nurse, or teacher, or doctor, or policeman/policewoman and might not necessarily be situated in the town even.

I put the post back in as i thought it was a valid point the user tried to make.

Hope that clears up your confusion.
