What are the chances of a teenager getting stabbed tomorrow in London?

I'm going to say 82% chance.

Sounds about right. Makes you glad not to be a teenager anymore, doesn't it?

Especially a teenager here in London. I'd have been eaten alive if I'd been raised here!

Same here. I don't think the voodoo dolls would have been enough to scare off the bullies over here.

Is this because you're staying in tonight, sharpening knives?

No, it's because I've been looking at my crystal ball again.

Only if they annoy me in some way.

In what way do teenagers not annoy you!?!

Fair point.

By the way: and last night, in the pub THREE MINUTES round the corner from my house, there was a fight and a guy in his early 20s got stabbed in the stomach. I do not live in a dodgy bit of Bromley, the pub in question is not known to be dodgy.

HELP!

I saw it on the BBC news! (was looking for any early bird news stories so I could write a post about how prophetic I was.) They weren't teenagers though... but yeah, it does make me wonder if knife attacks were always there but the media just didn't make a big deal out of them, or if we are onto a wave...

Yes, the upsides of knife crime get so little attention.

How often do we think "there aren't enough teenagers around here."?

Also it's good for the valuable knife-making industry.

Is lunch tomorrow good for you? Or Thursday.

Let's say Thursday! I don't know what my lunch times are like tomorrow.

Thursday sounds perfect!

See you in the lobby at the usual time!
