and from the same area:-
Quote:
A teenager from Northumberland has been banned from sticking his fingers up at members of the public.
David George Key, 18, of Sycamore Avenue, Blyth, was given the order when he appeared at Bedlington Youth Court.
He faces up to five years in jail if he is caught giving a V-sign or making any other obscene gesture with his fingers.
