With few places left in which to stick a flag, and fewer people left to put in a suit and taken tiffin with, Brits take drugs to travel to somewhere new, to experience something different.
With our application for the Liberal partys drugs tsar now stated in high-inducing indelible ink, we move on to the Stars drugs news.
Today the Star reports on the six children who were caught taking Viagra at school.
The boys, aged between 12 and 13, took the pills after one of their number raided his dads medicine cabinet.
That dealer has now been excluded from Forest School in Winnersh, Bucks, for actions which placed other pupils at risk.
The Sun puns about the lad having learnt a hard lesson, labouring its earlier point about the stiff lesson – but what of the crime?
In what ways were the other pupils at risk? Would the caper, as most teachers warn, have taken someones eye out?
Surely not – this was, after all, an all-boys school.’
