## Resource

Laura and Carmen get into the chaos of football fever, from England optimism and Emma Hayes’ kitchen chalkboard to the absolute scenes caused by Scotland fans taking over Boston, drinking bars dry and turning the Tartan Army into an international diplomatic force. They also unpack the proposed social media ban for under-16s, from screen time, Snapchat fallouts and ‘analogue bullying’ to whether kids should be weaned off TikTok via MySpace, MSN and a full return to landlines, park benches and WKD. Plus, there’s French football shirt loyalty, engagement ring chat, Prince George’s move to Eton, King Charles’ friendship bracelets, and a Father’s Day takedown for the ages - featuring Bluewater, cool man emojis and the universal male refusal to plan anything ever.
