My 10th High School Reunion had a table reserved exclusively for "those who have been successful".

I'm way late but there are fantastically hilarious.
behemoff
I'm from Chester and feel the need to return home and hunt these down.
sup3rflyy
That's an expensive prank.
Surrealle
American here, second time hearing ASBO today, after watching that episode of Sherlock =D
Moonadon
I live near chester! Woo
DollJudgment
My strategy would be to sit on the bench in a position that covers the signs.

Fun Fact: Donating benches in most cities is really cheap (<$150), and you get to pick what's written on them.

I work in Chester all the time, this is so weird xD BLASTING THE TUNES IN A DEE VALLEY WATER VAN!

As an American, picking out wholeheartedly British posts on imgur is one of my very favorite pastimes

I'm only somewhat familiar with what an ASBO is because of misfits.

Too many conditions. I'll sit on the ground.

Sir, that's our cricket pitch.

I live here and have never seen these...imma going hunting tomorrow

I know the top one is on Eastgate street halfway between the clock and the cross.

Chester is a wonderfully pretty city

Surprised there aren't more Americans asking, "what's an ASBO?" I only know bc Misfits and I looked it up.
FastandBiCurious
What's an ASBO?
PurplePixieUK
Rather than arresting, you an ASBO on your record to show you exhibit anti-social behaviour. A certain number of them and you're arrested.
revcleo
Note: in my example the noisy music wouldn't be a one-off. It would be persistent and causing a real regular nuisance.
revcleo
In example, noisy neighbours refuse to turn music down and disrupt street. Get an ASBO. If they play disruptive music, they can get arrested

Anti-Social Behaviour Order
revcleo
Antisocial behaviour order. Basically like a restraining order on particularly bad behaviour. If you do the bad behaviour you get arrested.
Thepenguinthatstoleyourtoothbrush
I'm in Chester. Guess I'm going to find these eventually!
alephcat
I deny everything
Sirdouchebag
Chester is absolutely my favorite city in this country level only with possibly London.
Thepenguinthatstoleyourtoothbrush
London terrifies me
annefrankdrumkit
Ditto!
SirGraculus
They're on Eastgate street. Halfway between the cross and the clock.
Thepenguinthatstoleyourtoothbrush
Ooh thank you! I'm walking that way later :)
SirGraculus
Have fun. ;)
SirGraculus
That sounded kind of creepy. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thepenguinthatstoleyourtoothbrush
It really did o.o

Plot twist: not a prank, local Council installed these.
JohnnyHealey
It was actually in the news today, installation by artists... So no prankster I'm afraid!
hearthstoneaccount3
Na this is the north. Council installed benches have weight sensors that trigger a guillotine if you sit too long

Is being asleep on a bench actually ASBO material?
BloodyBaboon
Watch "The Misfits" right fuck now.

Yes, apparently. http://www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/thousands-oppose-cheshire-west-chester-9926895

Anti-Social Behaviour Order
visualvendetta
A judge actually gave an ASBO to a women for uunaturally loud vocalizations during sex.
Flyndaran
Screaming at all hours of the night and day despite warnings isn't just occassional loud sex.
visualvendetta
I'm quite sure the judge did the right thing. Love the entire ASBO concept, sorry to see they may do away with it.
bardiel0192
This is why we Muricans have so many guns
AstralMarmot
I would ask for a signed copy of the order and frame it above my bed.
visualvendetta
Definitely something to be very proud of. Would get you on the Letterman show. I have ALWAYS wanted an ASBO for something ridiculous.
AndIThinkToMyselfWhatAWonderfulWorld
Anti Social Behavioural Order, a criminal conviction usually given to hoodlums who punch Grannies and the like
drunkbs
I think I saw that one. Harry Potter and the Order of Anti Social Behavior
visualvendetta
Punching my granny would have been a big mistake. Walked around with a tumbler of Scotch and a ciggy dangling from her mouth.
iamdizzyonfanta
They used to be handed out like candy, then people started collecting them like pokemon cards. So they toned it down.
ptcena19
So THAT's the the Doctor meant when he said he thought it'd be all "happy-slappy hoodies with ASBOs and ringtones" in school...
peppermintpixie
happy-slapping* <---also a British term. Happy slapping was walking up and filming yourself slapping the shit out of a stranger.
darthblaker7474
and Grannies, occasionally.
AstralMarmot
Sometimes, England scares me.
AndIThinkToMyselfWhatAWonderfulWorld
You should be scared. We once controlled a large portion of the world, and we will hook you in the gabba
AstralMarmot
Is that the sex act that's so popular with you kids these days?
Flyndaran
Or assholes in general that aren't technically committing any official crime. I like and dislike the concept.
AndIThinkToMyselfWhatAWonderfulWorld
They don't get handed out like sweets, I'm not sure on police policy (will have to ask my grandfather) but an ASBO is a pretty big deal
michaelpaice2
Love it. I'll try it in Stockport!
TheBeesTestes
I thought I was the only Stopfordian on here... I didn't realise IMGUR was seeing others..
fuckshitfannywanktosscockbuggerarseholefart
The only people sat down in Stockport are sat on cardboard with a scruffy mutt next to them.
Sirdouchebag
have been to Stockport (unfortunately) can confirm
michaelpaice2
Depends on the area. Maybe I'll try it in Bramhall!
Avatar720
If I wake up and find my village desecrated, why I... I'll probably cry into my prosecco and cornflakes! Villainous miscreant!
Sirdouchebag
Having lived in Bramhall I think you mean Dom Perignon and special K. Thank you very much.

Chester is not up North. It might be north of you, but its not part of the North
ThatWillBuffOut
If the chippy sells haddock rather than cod it's North.
IAmLookingForSomeoneToShareInAnAdventure
Unless they put it in a bap with gravy, its not north
CISMaleScumLord
It has to be; it's north of Watford.

Chester is part of the north west of England

The northwest starts at Manchester!
