I am sat in MacDonalds in Newport.
Three lads of about 16 or 17 enter. They sit down near me but are oblivious to others. They have a project on.
They have just bought an inexpensive earring - from one of the cheap jewellers nearby, no doubt, Gus Jones or some other. The boys have short quite blond hair. Two of them already have earrings in both ears but the third does not.
One of the earringed boys takes the new earring out of its packet and puts the sharp part of it into the hot flame of a small disposable gas lighter that he carries.
He then accurately sticks the mint green earring that he has heated up into the earlobe of the boy with no jewellery. He appears to feel no pain. Indeed, he smiles.
They all think it is good fun and so off they go, the task completed.
