Just read this bit of useful advice from the ABC News website:
'If you want to get rid of troublemaking youths, play them some
Cliff Richard songs, a funfair has found.
According to bosses from Carter's Steam Fair, playing tracks such as Living Doll by the 66-year-old pop veteran on all their rides was enough to scare off some "hoodies" and other troublemakers who had descended on the fair last Saturday in north London.
"It was amazing, just like a scene from (the film) Mars Attacks when the aliens were driven away by the sounds of Slim Whitman,'" said the fair's Seth Carter.'
So there you are; bring along your
Cliff Richards CDs, and if you get noisy yob neighbours at the
camp ground, wind up old
Cliff and watch them disperse like flies from Mortein!!
Not sure about the Slim Whitman, tho...
LOL! Gerry

My choice of youth repellant is Daz (Aussie - Daz Nuance) does Jazz. A disc by the name of Divaria which is Jazz oriented music with vocals sung by opera singers. It's got rhythm and is quite mesmerising but as soon as the vocals start, the youngsters clear off - at least my kids do. Another one is Bruce Springsteens 'We Shall Overcome,' the Seeger sessions. Ye olde depression music, banjos, fiddles, harmonicas and the like playing negro/Irish type spirituals which make your feet start tapping and hands clapping and I enjoy when played as they were originally, not hyped down to to-days head banging electronic trash. When they hear this music, the kids think you are starting a revival meeting and clear off in case you are going to start bible-bashing. Then there is Dead Can Dance (Aussie singer and English musician duo) who play some ethnic and ethereal type music. She has one of the most powerful voices I have ever heard and clears the
young quicker than Aerogard. If one of these doesn't work first off, I try one of the others. Usually don't get to the third.
