aha, oh dear. It would be funny, if it weren't so tragic.
The other staff find it funny when I deal with "guests". I'm far more stubborn than them and will not give in. I'll shout at them, if I need to. I'll be having a perfectly normal conversation with someone, suddenly see someone who is, say, sitting on something they shouldn't be or they'll have a hat/glasses on, and I'll shout "GET DOWN/TAKE THOSE GLASSES OFF! YES, I MEAN YOU!" XD
I can't really imagine you being like that to people. I did see some poor staff member being harassed, and the people in the control booth just mocked her more. I felt kind of sorry for her in a way.
You must have like social places for students? Here we have the student union (my uni has two, but that's Glasgow for you) where students undertake a lot of alcohol-fuelled tomfoolery. Where there is cheap alcohol and entry to club nights is usually free. There are also things like pool/snooker tables, TV rooms, areas where sports are shown, etc.
Adam, we went in between classes. A friend of mine turned up drunk to a lab class. Oops.
Oh Gabz, some people are idiots! I see similar things. Has anyone ever known a theatre to have rows where F is the front and A is the back? Or where they go something like B - G - A - C - E - D - F?
There is the town bar for people 21 and up (well suppost to be, 18's can get in) but it is just a regular bar.
Seriously, wow, that is awesome, that would never fly in the US. But our drinking age is higher is probably why.
We can legally drink alcohol in the UK at age 18.
Most people in uni are closer to their 20's. people tend to go to college first.

I've learnt the hard way that to get them to listen, you have to be forceful with them, or they'll walk all over you.
Guess what happened earlier? A staff member did a height check and the child was a good few centimetres under. The parent started having a go at the staff, saying it wasn't fair that their child wasn't allowed on the ride. They then wandered off to Guest Services to make a complaint. Oh noes, how dare we try and make sure nothing happens to your child! *rolls eyes*
We can also leave school at 16.
But we start school at age 4. I believe it's 6 in the US isn't it?
I always found it funny that most people start college at 18, the same age we can legally drink.
So the same age you're supposed to decide your future, is the same age you can be blitzed out you head.

And me? I get the joy of teaching kids bicycle safety (Y)
And teach toddlers how to ride their bikes without stabilisers.
And get families back into cycling together.
90% of the time, it's brilliant.
Until you're in a rough part of town like I was last night and the kids are horrible, but it's all good.
Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.

You can't get into university at 16 though, the English and Welsh have just finished their GCSEs by then, right? The Scottish system is very strange, completely different.
No not university, usually you need some college level qualifications before you can go to university.
most people go to uni from 18 +

It is 5 or 6 now, but most kids start at 3 or 4, sometimes younger. We cannot leave school until we are 18 or graduated, but we do not have the tests that you guys have. There are no A-levels or thoses four letters tests that start with G. Over here college and uni is exactly the same thing. It is just referred to as college.
I thought in US they referred to it as university if you were going there for a specific degree, like law or medicine, the important jobs.
It's college if you're there for the arts degree, or media studies or philosophy, the non-useful qualifications.
but the second you specialise to a "proper" career it becomes university.

Scots don't go to college. Well, you can, but it's more vocational.
We start when you are 4/5, it's half and half really. The cut-off is the end of February. So if you are born in March you start at 5, start a 4 if February.
"scots don't go to college" can just be the root of many jokes about scotland.
and for some reason I'm hearing them in Franky Boyle's voice.

Doing the sessions is exhausting, but I love it :)
The American school system always confused me.
