I'm sorry Barry. You measure the man by the company he keeps.
Oh indeed, i'm completely with you on this, these things do my fucking head in, but i was trying to avoid calling the kettle black, you know? Your story enraged me, because i'm the same, i've never in my life been in any debt, not even an overdraft. I have always understood that if you can't afford it, don't buy it. SO i've always worked hard, or not if the truth be known, and saved up.
All i was trying to say was I can just see why they do it. No doubt it's to do with immaturity, childishness, boredom and fun. It's not a good thing, it's just something to pass the time, because at that age consideration is not at the forefront of your mind.
For what it's worth, it was about 13 years ago when i had some experience in eggings. I'm an adult now and our country annoys the fuck out of me.
