47 in 152 days=0.30 per day
Is this correct Mr Minister
If so,who claims we have a problem is dreaming.
Any ways the figure shows under 16 youth who just entered entertainment establishments,are concerts included?
As far as I am concerned the HEADING is very wrong and misleading how can you stop a kid from entering AN ENTERTAINEMNT SPOT ?It should read 4 YOUTHs CAUGHT drinking in first 5 months which amounts to 0.02 per day.....And ? So ? What next ? No BIG DEAL !!!!!!!
