I'm probably just a mean old killjoy but I kind of despise this excessive behaviour where Brits, whether they're kids flying free from the nest or grooms and brides on their last nights of freedom, feel they can go anywhere they like and rip up a local community, treating places which people call home as their own personal toilet.it's not just Brits you know, the yanks do this stuff in Mexico in fact most countries have other mad little islands that there teens/youth go to to let of steam and you know the locals love it.
What happened to your friend by the way? He wasn't crippled for life or anything was he?
