Hmmm..any Bangor comrades with direct experience of this curfew?
The first night of a controversial curfew on young people in a city centre passed without incident, say police.
It came into force in Bangor, Gwynedd, on Monday and could affect anyone under 16 not with an adult after 21:00 BST.
North Wales Police said there were pockets of young people, who were allowed to stay in affected areas as there were no complaints.
One civil liberties group criticised the dispersal order, likening it to "North Korea, not north Wales".
But police said it was not a total ban or curfew but gives police powers to move on troublemakers.
Young people on the streets overnight were well behaved, according to police.
