*Begin rant*
London has the worst teenagers ever. The girls all wear their hair scraped back into severe schoolmarm buns, sporting J-Lo’esque hoop earrings, denim jackets and disfiguring acne. The boys look like they’ve just stepped out of the pages of Crime and Prejudice and have chronic Burger King breath. It’s an endearing sight, I tell ya’. Even worse is when they open their mouths and attempt to use the English language. It ends up sounding something like this:

Its like, wha’eva man. Somefink is dead wrong wif you if you fink that i is gonna go there, yeah? Oy! We’s gots to get off da bus now, slappa. Move your arse! And don’t forget the baby, yeah?

Enchanting, eh? I know teenagers in the US are just as bad and have their own particular slang and mannerisms and “fashions”, but for some reason the teens here really grind on my nerves even more than usual. *Rant over*
