"The music will be played for a six-month trial period at a car park in the suburb of Brighton-le-Sands."
Six months? Six MINUTES ought to do the trick, LOL!
Actually, I have a radio in the chicken coop and it plays Public Radio 24/7. Racoon, wild mink or other predators shy away from the looney liberal blathering and leave my hens alone.
So, this just might work! (But is your general layabout "thug" really any smarter than a racoon? LOL!)
Wow, that's an idea....
How about playing "the Best of Robert KKK Byrd" or "Swingin' Teddy Kennedy"?
