What I didn't realise was that punk is, in fact, alive and well. Two lads in their teens got up on stage, plugged in, switched the volume up to max, the lead singer then went:- "ONE TWO, F*** YOU!" and the rest of the lyrics were inaudible due to being drowned out by guitar, so I couldn't even ask :"How would you like me to f*** off?"
