I do think theres been too many sections of the community copping out, mainly because the bloody government has emasculated them - if you're a teacher, a bobby or anyone else in authority of some sort, then you get your arse burned if you so much as say boo at the little darlings....
When we were kids (god here he goes....:doh) we would get a bloody good welting from the teachers - manys the time I've gone home with my arse stinging from a cane or slipper, but we knew the meaning of respect and right and wrong. OK so I like a bit of S&M now and then, but other than that its done me no harm! :naughty
But seriously, what with that AND parents that don't give a flying feck about what their kids are up to, or go and bawl the schoolteacher out when their little darlings get ticked off, we're on a hiding to nothing if you ask me, and then when they get nicked they get some pathetic sentence that bears no relation to the crime or the effect on the victims.
I sometimes wonder how this country keeps functioning and why anybody decent wants to live in a city or large town these days.
I say bring back the birch, national service, hanging, licorish imps, Aztec bars and those double tins that had rice in one end and curry in the other....
Wheres my drink gone...................????????????
Mmmm I could just go one of them Fray Bentos steak pies in a tin....
