Notes -
I just witnessed my first street fight in Scotland.
I was walking up the central promenade of a relatively big city, when i spotted about 20 young men, ranging in age anywhere from a geriatric 18 to grizzled 7 year olds. All of them had uniforms on, pure black hoodies, half of them with North Face logos from what I can tell.
I'm not sure what triggered the brawl, but before I knew it, two of the youngest members, couldn't be older than 12, both of them shorter than my armpits, began throwing down.
It was a pretty spirited fight! Proper form, good left and right hooks, drawing strength from the hips instead of the shoulder. They might have done serious damage to each other if they weren't 40 kilos fully dry. It quickly devolved into grappling, the smaller but denser lad pinned his opponent beneath him and gave him a good spanking, though at this point the ring of hooting and hollering lads blocked my view.
At this point, they had had their share of fun, and dragged the two fighters away, before cheering the victor and moving off down the street in good order.
The NHS doesn't pay me enough to intervene in public brawls, not when they seem to have the full consent of the governed. I quickly looked to make sure that nobody was actually hurt, and not spotting any nose bleeds or much more than a bruise, I went along my way.
If it matters to you, everyone involved was white, and from their accents, locals.
I can't tell whether I'm annoyed that all teenage boys wear black, or just jealous that fashion wasn't so easy when I was a lad.
