“I write following your article on five hoodies who were thought to have mugged a man but who actually saved his life (Metro, Thu). Seeing the confusion that was caused by the fact that these young people performed a good act, I offer a couple of pointers as to the hoodies who can be trusted and those who cannot.

First, if the said hoodie has the name or motif of a band on his or her clothing, do not fear. These people are alternative and can be trusted.

However, if the hoodie displays any reference to brand names, run in terror. These hoodies are chavs and happy-slappers.  Also, look for baggy jeans, long hair and piercings in alternative young people, and baldness, red faces and hoop earrings among bad hoodies.”
