As an eight year old I was invited to join a gang by some older girls. We sat in their shed in the dark, one winter's night and the initiation ceremony was to pass my finger through the flame of a candle. I couldn't do it, refused to join and went home. Can I still join your gang please?

I was in a gang at school, but we were posh we called it 'a clan'!

Have you been watching Highlander again Jalima?

Or Outlander?

It was a very long time ago lemon

She got the idea from us!

Did you wear clan tartans?Did you have a dirk up your sleeves?

Just a home-made badge in the shape of bagpipes.

We were not normal teenagers - not by todays' s standards!
