On the subject of vandals - they seem to enjoy ripping out fencing panels too.

Whether it's the same vandals or other vandals or whatever they are doing it's demoralising when some effort is made to brighten a place up and then some mindless morons decide to destroy it.

Mani may suffer racist taunts because that's the first thing they think of to insult someone with. Similarly a larger sized person gets "fattist abuse" and an elderly person gets "ageist abuse", someone who wears glasses gets "four-eyes abuse". A couple of weeks ago I heard a group of laughing jeering youngsters calling an elderly woman a "fat old pigfaced sow" - (and no it wasn't me!) just because they'd run past her down by Wilkinsons, bumped into her and she'd told them off for not looking where they were going.
