    The kids are startin' to get the upper hand…

    If not all over the land, then in Walthamstow at least…

    The kids are startin' to get the upper hand…

    I walked through the centre of Walthamstow about 20 minutes before this happened, and later, my other half did the same about 20 minutes after it had happened. The first we knew about it was when my sister-in-law in Leeds tweeted to ask if we were OK.

    Basically, it was a common or garden school fight that got a bit out of hand, and was made to look more dramatic by the sheer number of social-media rubberneckers looking to film it.

    The Evening Standard reported it as a "massive riot".

      Then as evidenced by the thread title, they need me to sub-edit their headlines.

          PS this is all the rage in BelAir apparently. Millies with mobiles, as Calvert would say.

          G-man to thread for some more glampop lyrics.

            Love is like Oxford Street.

                If there were only more cereal cafes for them to get a decent breakfast in on the way to school ...

                  Yeah. If only it had been "Oxford Circus" I could have joined your two together with some weak "Central Line" pun...
