AS TEEN heroes go, Vivaldi and Chopin probably aren't up there with Kanye West and The Twang.
And it would be hard to imagine the average hoodie playing Mozart or Tchaikovsky through his earphones rather than 50 Cent or the Kaiser Chiefs.
Small wonder, then, that simply by blasting out classical music the Alvechurch Co-op store has dispersed gangs of young people who used to hang out near its doors.
As crowd control measures go, it is certainly kinder than water cannon or tear gas.
But movie buffs of a certain age might remember what the ultra-violent young gang lader Alex listened to in the 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange...Beethoven.
Watch out, shopkeepers, if the kids start wearing bowler hats and make-up!
