Youths discouraged by Co-op classical music!!


The front page of our local paper yesterday made me laugh so much, I HAD to write about it
The Headline was "Yobs discouraged by Co-op classic music".
It read: "Classical music is helping fight crime across the city. A series of speakers have been placed outside the Co-op playing classical music, this is to discourage gangs of youngsters from hanging around outside the store".
"The blasts of Beethoven have proved so unpopular with the gangs that they have moved on. The music is controlled by staff who can adjust the volume to deter youths who gather outside".
Not quite sure how I should be feeling about this, but it is funny.
Well, Beethoven's famous quote was " They'll learn to like it one day".
