So was it also true that Mears was once seen having coke (sort you drink not snort) and burgers in McDonalds in the 'rural depths' of central Milton Keynes? Maybe instead of learning bushcraft skills to survive on big Council estates like Barton or Blackbird Leys by eating bats and raw fish, young kids can join the local Scouts or CCF at school, and older teenagers can always join the TA or Armed Forces, with the added attraction of 'real-time survival' in places like Afghanistan - though one turn-off might be that buses don't yet run there every 10/so minutes (?) from Underhill Circus, or every 3/4 minutes from Pegasus Road. Mind you, after the recent horsemeat scandal, can't see many Parents being happy about their Children eating the family dog or pet guinea pigs - even if nutritional value may be higher than fried mears bars!
