I HAVE a message for the four young idiots, especially the one with the blonde fringe, who attempted to splash water on all the visitors waiting for the volunteer guide outside York City Art Gallery on Wednesday afternoon last week.

Despite your childish attempts to ruin our afternoon, you were unsuccessful. Hopefully, the next time you attempt this stupid prank, you will be caught and punished accordingly.

You are lucky that I did not catch up with you.

Remember, what goes around comes around. You did not spoil my trip to York and your infantile antisocial behaviour will not stop me visiting York again. I just hope for your sake that we don't meet again because next time I will personally drag you to the nearest police station.
