In my last posting I referred to some obnoxious young men at Narranderah as
'trainee yobbos'.

The phrase is ambiguous, but I think it should have been clear that I was
meaning 'young men who are in (unofficial, non state- or business-sponsored)
training to be yobbos', ie neophyte yobbos, NOT, young men who are beneath
my notice because trainees (ie unemployed)'.

I myself have been unemployed for the last four years and cripples do not
mock cripples.
