Angelo Cabrazza is at the front line, dealing with the young Friday night would-be customers. The manager of O'Brien's Fine Wines, he says the youngsters "do try" to get served alcohol. "They look mainly for beer and maybe vodka," he says. "They're not exactly looking for chardonnay anyway. You can tell them immediately, and you ask for ID. Then they huff and puff and search for it and say they've left it at home but will I serve them anyway. They don't come back after that. It still shocks me - this emphasis on alcohol. What about food and love?"

The man behind the counter at a local petrol station prefers not to be named, feeling the disco brings its fair share of trouble. "They are very rowdy and loud - want to be treated with respect, as adults, but behave so rudely. Then there are fights. They just haven't worked out yet the way things are done. To be honest, I dread Friday nights." John Hickey, manager of the local Spar, is more upbeat. "The thing you notice about Friday nights? It's louder," he says. "They do come in here, the girls wearing half nothing, looking for sweets and cigarettes mainly - though they won't get the cigarettes. Some of them are drunk, and just hanging out. But sure we've all done it in our time. We're just jealous!"
