Also I'd like to say that French TV is a lot more sexualised than British TV, there's even softcore porn on during daytime, somehow that has the inverse effect to what's expected.

EDIT
I wonder if it's got to do with the fact that families appear a lot closer in other parts of Europe, where meals are taken altogether etc so the kids are less tempted to find comfort somewhere else.

Is it that common in the UK? I have no proof to argue otherwise but, when I was regularly home late (and missing mealtimes with the family) in a previous job, I got the impression I was an exception rather than the rule.

In much of Europe nudity is not "naughty" it "just is" so teenagers dont need to rebel

Yep, here a sauna is nude only and there are plenty of nudist areas. News magazines often show naked people during the daytime and early evening. They dropped the softcore poon on free TV just after I moved here.

Is that cos you kept calling it softcore poon?

No, I was typing that on the tablet when I was tired and it made an auto correct!
