    Exactly! Much easier just making something as “evil” than actually solving the issues around.

    Children shouldn’t be using their cells that much, but this is not solved by restricting access to it. It is solved by making communities and spaces child-safe and interesting for them.

      Yeah that last one about the kids making the bike ramp happened a fair few (~7?) years ago and all the signs are still there

        We used to use the “no ball games” sign as a target. Eventually it fell off the wall.

        Usually some busy body police support community officer person, or some other individual in a yellow fluorescent jacket and no actual authority would turn up and yell at us, but we just wait until they went away.
