A TEENAGE couple have marked their first month together by necking Strongbow in a playground.
James Bates and Lucy Parry, 15, decided to celebrate being in a relationship for four entire weeks without breaking up by drinking cans of warm cider in their local park.
Bates said: “It’s a massive milestone. We’ve had some rocky moments during our time together, of course, like when Lucy sat beside that prick Oliver during science instead of me. But every long-term couple has issues.
“And now I think our relationship – which mainly consists of sitting silently beside each other on the bus to school, and intermittent non-French kissing – is stronger than ever.”
Parry added: “It takes a lot of hard work to maintain a healthy partnership. I’ve known so many great couples who you thought would be together forever but broke up after six days. But we strive to keep the spark alive.
“James is so romantic, he even opened this can for me. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather sit on a swing with, on the verge of developing hypothermia.”
Asked their plans for the rest of the evening, James said: “The usual: finish three-and-a-half cans each then be sick down the slide.”
