"This does sound a trifle patronising.
In my experience, young people just want somewhere to hang out, smoke cigarettes and drink the white cider they bought from the dodgy off-licence down the road. Talk to them about "community cohesion" or "taking ownership of their communities" and they'll think you're absolutely stark-raving bonkers, especially if you use language like that. Well, those that don't listen to Cliff Richard will."
Today, I received an email from the webmaster asking if I would like to rephrase it. Apparently, the term "stark raving bonkers" is deemed too personal.What?
