“if you are all so keen to defend this "good living, clean lad" then name him and let us all make up our own mind !”

“how terrible. he should be snorting ketamine and drinking to exess and driving around sainsburys car park, not getting stuck on the island!!

come on, it was a bit of fun! unleast its not another stupid act that we let slide, such as the s**t hole this place is!

get a life and learn to enjoy it. its disapointing to see so many boring old farts that cant just laugh it off.

well im off to get some drugs from the copper around the corner and maybe steal so cars, but aslong as im not startling a deer, or kicking a football a little to hard, think ill get away with it.”

“Yo. If this is what i think it's about, i'd just like to say that im quite good friends with this kid. He is not a bowkett, god forbid, nor is he a bad kid. He very rarely has a drink, doesn't do drugs (shame that), for god sake's he doesn't even smoke. He's very intelligent, and thought it would be a laugh. Well..it was. for everybody. so pull your head's out your backsides and lighten up for God's sake!!”

“Heh, well the comments are heaping now? Oh so fast.
I would just like to laugh at most of you, you are quite abusive and judgmental about people it seems? Its true what they say about the forest of dean and intolerance i see, inbreds and the like, always fun, Ciao.”

“As one who knows those involved in this piece of nonsense, I am sadly unsurprised by the instant, and unjustified, reaction of most posters here.

The young man in question is not 'trailer trash', is in fact far from it. He is an intelligent person, a student with serious potential to contribute to our world. He comes from a family who are supportive and certainly not a 'burden on the tax-payer'.

As to being out at that time of the morning, I myself am fond of late night/early morning walks, when everywhere is peaceful, and there is nothing wrong in that, as I would hope you agree.

On this particular occasion, a silly thought led to a silly action. There are few of us in this world who can say we haven't done something we regretted afterwards, something which seemed like a 'good idea at the time'.

None of you have the right to judge this young man, stereotype him and heap abuse on him, when you know nothing abut him. Yes, he made a stupid decision, but no true harm was done (except to his pride).

Perhaps those of you with such willingness to loose vitriolic comments might turn your attentions to important local issues such as drugs or the total lack of community in the area, rather than berating an otherwise exemplary example of our youth for one mistake.”

“Well for the record for all of you out there, Was out there before and after his venture out.
Was quite a successful attempt at wasting time and money. In the end two full size fire trucks turned up, one ambulance and one police car, and a rescue boat, a better outcome then the boy with a perfect escape plan ready and such, in the event of another failing by our emergence service. No chance of a charge as was checked up beforehand, but still amusing when the police claimed 'They will find something to arrest us both for'. And quite offensive those of you who compared him to the yob sum, he is one of us, and more then intelligent

Yours sincerely, The other boy on the island who made it back safe after the services left.”

“Just thought it prudent to point out to those who think it's a good idea to charge this kid for his stupidity that the whole point of the fire service is to help people and if you charge people when its their stupid fault then i hope you like reciving the bill for you family resuce when you forget to turn off the lights and your house burns down. Also I know who it was, and it was tottaly not a bowkett but it is nice to see how up their own ass people get when they think the person doing it is a poor yob from an unemployeed family. SHOCK his familey works, and they work hard, so you should probably re-consider your elitism.

P.S: Dogging, lol, y'all gettin' trolled.”

“"moi, lydney".... its not Slander if its all true”

“Only time you see the bowketts is on a monday collecting benfits out of the post office that we work for they steal from us at night dan bowkett is the biggest of all about time he was done away with?like in belfast also all bowkett lovers to vile family

up the ra”

“The asbo family, Wow!! that takes me back.
I remember fishing down at the lake in my shorts and vest with my best buddy Kenneth Asbo. He was the late brother of Peter and Gordon Asbo but I must state that he was not always late. In fact he was sometimes on time and even got there before me on rare occasions. If Pete or Gordy read this then please leave a comment. We must meet up and do some fishing one day.”
