  There is a little item in the Dover Express page 8 about a young boy aged 11 who squeegeed the fountain here in Market Square with fairy liquid. A harmless prank for a schoolkid and indeed many of us would have got up to similar in the past in our young years...perhaps pinching apples from a tempting tree and the like.
  
  But this boy has been arrested and is scheduled to appear in court later in the month. Is this some sort of dreadful overkill??
  
  In the old days of deference, the policeman would tell you off and you would go home redfaced with a monumental flea in yer ear. Surely thats all thats required nowadays too, perhaps with the addition of a chat with parents etc.
  
  When you read on Howards thread about the police turning a blind eye from now on to consensual public indecency then havent we got our priorities very mixed up.
