One thing I've been meaning to mention for a while now, is that a hell of a lot of teens around my age hang around Park Lane near the taxi rank, on the benches. It must be noted that this is not strictly speaking Park Lane.

Although I can appreciate why Nexus doesn't want these kids in Park Lane as the majority are pissed, high or playing extremely loud (and quite frankly often rather distasteful) music, there were two security guards there tonight and I went to Greggs and ended up talking to a few people who weren't a part of that group outside of Greggs. We were told by two security guards (as their high vis jackets are named) that we weren't allowed to talk in Park Lane, and they told us that we could talk beyond the benches where it was no longer their property. A bus station supervisor passed us ten minutes before that and smiled, and even came to stroke the dog that we were all stroking (christ it was like a mammoth).

I've known police to get involved in the past and everything.

We often think that some members of Nexus' bus station supervisory team are a bit too harsh, but these 'security guards' (who have cameras, walkie talkies, the lot) are a lot worse - especially to people who aren't causing any potential harm.
