Why are they congregating outside your house?

They're not. They just walk past on their way to school. Thanks for the
other suggestion.

how about spraying something really foul smelling (but benign) on
the hedge.
Any lad going head long in to it will get covered in the smell.

Interesting idea though again, I wonder if this would just increase the
tempatation to push your mate into it...? !

Worth a try. You would then have the stinking mate's mother and
friends on your side, applying a double pronged deterrent of social
rejection and nagging.

if a lad went to school stinking I doubt his teachers would look on it very
favourably and he may be going home fairly quickly for a bath. Getting home
in school time may not make mum or dad very happy either.

Please, do let us know the results of your trial, what perfume you used and
any complaints you gather as a result.
