i suppose it was down to knowing what they were likely to do rather than what they were going to do

even though there are loads of sikhs about the place, someone knows someone who knows someone else's mum or uncle or the like so if, heven forbid, something was to have kicked off, soner or later, the grapevine would have been buzzing and someone would have pointed fingers

if they were white lads, or black lads, or just your common or garden chav, i would have asked for machelp

on the other hand, it wasn't just me with the kid there, there were at least 3 other families, all with single figure kids who gave me knowing nods, perhaps it was because i was the only bloke there, or maybe they would have said somehtng themselves

you just don't know, but they dind't look older than 16/17 and i've been known to be a bit handy in a scrap, even though i don't look like it
