I know it’s a little premature (hehe), but May 7 is National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. So how do you prevent teenagers getting pregnant?

I guess the most obvious solution is to keep boys and girls apart, so perhaps (to be heinously chauvinistic) all the clothes shops should put on late-night sales and TV channels should replace usual schedules with 24-hour sports. Or maybe some ‘love police’ force where teenagers holding hands are issued with an ASBO and kissers imprisoned for the night.

The alternative step is dissuasion: allocate all teenagers with a ‘Vicky Pollard’ or handcuff them to one of those pretend babies which cries and needs its nappy changing.

You have to wonder how today’s teens couldn’t know sex can result in a baby? Not with such extensive sex education provided by Hollyoaks and Jeremy Kyle.
