This looks great: A new strip in The Beano about a Scottish problem family called 'The Neds'. They have children called Asbo and Chavette! Sheer genius. I'll be checking it out down the One Stop as soon as possible.

Of course, the interesting thing is it sounds like something that Viz would run. Viz imitates The Beano, then The Beano imitates Viz. You could get half a term's worth of cultural studies teaching out of this one.

In case you are wondering why the Scottish press is getting so worked up about Neds, check out this fine site, which will give you an insight. I particularly like the term 'wee cheeky Ned', which I would attempt to use whenever possible, but suspect that it only works in a Scottish accent.

I must confess that I'm puzzled as to why The Daily Record ran this story in its sex and health section. Perhaps you could get the second half of the term's cultural studies teaching out of the answer...
