Was Somefields just a rename of Gateway or was they also part of the various sales and mergers? I remember Gateway - used to be big across The South. We had a Bejam in Northfields, which then became Budgens, and now Tesco Metro occupies the space Co-op has really gone upmarket, and you'll see them in the more affluent parts of town. Bejam became Iceland as far as I remember unless you just mean that particular branch,

Co-op can be found in less affluent areas such as Tulse Hill, West Norwood which were originally Somerfields and a new one in Brixton right next to the Stockwell Park Estate

Going back to talking about anti social behaviour earlier on this thread, this might sound controversial but I think that curfews should be in place, not only on buses but public places too. I'd say that youths (under 18s) should be banned from congregating in groups of larger than 4-6 after 10pm

The questions we should be asking more is why they are doing it. Is it because they want to "just" do this or is it something deeper like social media exposure? I'd argue the long exposure of social media, especially towards the youth being the most use of it has placed significant pressure on those to confine to a certain image in order to fit into a larger group. Youth to bare in mind aren't fully developed on their self esteem in alot of them where insecurities can play into this.

At the very least people who have got into trouble with the police due to anti social behaviour should be monitored or something like that. Unfortunately if we don't enforce strict rules then they'll never learn.

And if you do impose a curfew, who enforces it? The police have better things to do.

Is that correct. My memory of the Safeway was it went Safeway > Somerfield > Morrison .... Morrison then sold the smaller shops onto Coop, although they were generally big for Coop **EDIT** Actually got that wrong, it was Morrisone that sold the smaller stores to Somerfield, which was then absorbed by Coop Was Somefields just a rename of Gateway or was they also part of the various sales and mergers? And Gateway was a rename of International. I remember when Gateway and some Food Giant also the same company got renamed somerfield. They also bought Kwik Save as well later in the 90's.

Unfortunately if we don't enforce strict rules then they'll never learn. That already happens regarding monitoring - young offenders aren't just left alone once they commit an offence and maybe if we actually had a decent police service in the first place, this would even more effective than currently. There are better deterrents out there that will cut crime among youngsters - if investment in youth services increased, you'd instantly see a drop in crime, if the level of parenting today was balanced - by that I mean those genuinely struggling are given the support whilst those who are simply terrible parents are dealt with before the kid goes off the rails, essentially earlier intervention. Also, society needs to make it's mind up how it's views kids - take exams, it's either kids do well in the exams and are told it's only because the exams are too easy so then exams are toughened up, kids don't do as well and are then told, they are thick - by giving them actual purpose and belonging, that in itself will deter more youngsters from going down the wrong paths.
