Don't complain.

Genius

  My friend heard this back around 1988-9 :
Couple walking down street when extremely baby faced rooky policeman walks past:
Man says to woman: "Young boy lost in London found under police mans helmet"
Genius.

I already used this as title of a song released on an album around the same time

A considerate boyfriend

  I overheard some some 17 year old student on the phone to his girlfriend:

"What do you mean what time? I'll f**king call you whenever I want!!"

Good to see (hear?) that romance and consideration are still a part of East London's 'yoof'.

Still, at least it wasn't punctuated with "innit"

Mothers, always thinking outside the box

  Whilst I was waiting for a bus in Feltham:

10yr old School boy: "Can I go back and get my guitar?"
Mum: "No, we'll miss the bus"
School boy: "But I need it! It's got my M16 in it! How am I supposed to shoot people without it?"
Mum: "Stop being so aggressive or I'll send you to boarding school"

There's plenty more where that came from.

  Little girl, looking at sharks: Of course they won't have a blue whale, they don't have the space.
Her big sister: "They could get a baby one."
Little girl: "But baby ones still grow up. It'd get too big."
Big sister: "Well, they could just get rid of it then."
