YOBS and lager louts! This is the description so often given to young people.

However, I recently ran out of money in a store in Bury centre and was helped out by two teenage girls who paid the few remaining coppers for me. A few days later, I was again "rescued" by a young Asian man who not only did my photocopying for me but refused the money (I had forgotten my glasses). My faith in the younger generation has been restored.
