Work At Home Hilton
What would you suggest is the most effective method of dispersing teenagers who don’t want to leave?!?
The Sound of Music may have brought joy to audiences for decades but now hits from the classic musical are being used to shepherd home unimpressed Scottish youths, it was reported Friday.
Staff at the Hilton Community Centre in Inverness were finding it difficult to make juveniles leave the youth club at closing time, so turned to Julie Andrews’s dulcet tones for assistance. It was discovered that short bursts of “My Favourite Things” and “The Hills Are Alive” piped through the centre’s sound system were the most effective method of dispersing the sceptical teenagers.
Highland councillor John Finnie said: “There has been a lot of work which has gone into the facilities at Hilton Community Centre and they are so very much appreciated by the young folk.”They are very keen to hang around and don’t want to go home at 2200. So this is a creative use of music – classical music, musicals and if things get really awkward I understand nursery rhymes will be deployed.”
It reminds me of a drunken party at a friends. Nobody wanted to go home, so she put on “Ave Maria”, thinking that would do the trick. For some reason everybody became “emotional” and started dancing to it too. My friend had to resort to swearing and pointing at the door.
I did hear tell of a device that emits high pitched noises that irritate young ears. Us fogies can’t hear it.
