Students Trash P&O Ferry

[David Johnson]

Dashed if you aren't correct, old bean.

Too much of the old vino collapso here at Johnson Towers, I suspect. Glad to see I am not the only chap with a classical education on this forum.

Of course I was referring to Caesar's Gallic Wars. Knocks Coronation Street into a cocked hat.

Yes but students at these two Unis would come from all over the UK and apparently it was a rivalry between the two Unis that kicked off with glasses and bottles being smashed,

On the local news here in Kent they are saying that both male and female students exposed themselves to other passengers which may seem funny at the time but considering there were a lot of families on board with young kids its not so amusing.

So as well as arson and criminal damage some of these students could be facing indecent exposure charges, that should give them something to think about when they sober up..

My daughter, a graduate of the University of Manchester, tells me that the Metropolitan isn't really a uni; its a bit parvenu. Though they both have a history in this sort of thing, having previously trashed some coaches on a trip to Amsterdam a while back.
