"A Welsh inventor claims to have found the perfect solution to rowdy youngsters - noise.
"Howard Stapleton says his device, the Mosquito, emits an uncomfortable high-pitched ultrasonic sound that can be heard by children and teenagers but almost no-one over 30.
"The ability to hear high frequencies deteriorates with age, but some adults might still be able to hear the Mosquito. No-one except young troublemakers appears annoyed, however."
If I won the lottery, I'd buy one of these for every public place in my city and every city I ever visit for any reason. I hope Stapleton invents a "pocket" version that can be carried around to keep the little bastards at bay.
Imagine the possibilities if Stapleton teamed up with consumer electronic companies and developed a gadget that serves as a cell phone, PDA, MP3 player, and brat repellent. I'd buy it.
