Just ahead of them, two teenage girls, quite provocatively dressed, one in tights and pants, the other in a Ra-ra skirt high on her waist and tights printed as if they were stockings and suspenders. I can feel the punk family flinching in disapproval: 'I've got an idea: why don't you just go out naked', says Mrs Punk, loudly enough for all to hear her views of the teenagers' attire.

Punks can be such moralists.
