Have you ever drank Cobra? I doubt an old Etonian would touch it with yours.

Maybe if you're somewhere in safe suburbia!
Gangs gathering in local parks to mug in great numbers. Particularly after bikes, probably lost a few in the chase

Oi, I have my own troubles here! I still can't get rid of the smell of burnt fish from the kitchen.
Still full scale looting, things being set on fire, violence going on. Think they've just got the press the f**k out of here. Only a few streets away and apparently still spreading out.
Want to go to sleep but too much going on, including random shouting, banging, and helicopters. Glad I got beer and cigarettes in before everything got boarded up. Might be eating bread and cheese for a while though
