NIGHTLIFE is big business these days with much of the new economy fuelled by alcohol.

I can only say thank goodness I'm not a teenager any more. I couldn't afford it.

They only go out when most of us are coming in and seem to spend a fortune on enjoyment and fancy clothes.

Many don't know what a coat is, and even in the middle of winter many walk the streets in shirt sleeves.

All I can say is that they must have well paid jobs, or soft parents who let them live at home for a peppercorn rent.

Most are law abiding, but the easy access to holidays abroad is bringing the Ibiza culture to local towns, with young people going out purely with the intention of getting drunk.

A Lancashire police plan for dealing with any unruly yobbos should be adopted in all towns.

Anyone causing trouble is banned from every licensed premises and their picture is circulated to all licensees,

That'd curb their enjoyment locally.
