Re: Corporal Punishment

It seems attitudes have changed greatly in ten years or more, beyond recognition. I am raising a serious point and did it on this thread because I still have a house in France. The administrators...

Re: Corporal Punishment

I'm not sure what you are all driving at. I speak the truth: i was there in the 1960's - were you? What bothers me is the complete change of attitudes . How dare you call we a troll. Do you so...

Re: Corporal Punishment

Obviously you have worked in these political-correct schools and are indoctrinated in their 1960's philosophy. Some of us have more traditional ideas. Rather proves my point, I think! I have no...

Re: Best kit to keep warm in?

When I was at school in the UK in the 1960's/70's Dr.Martin's shoes were specifically banned on pain on a good beating! I suppose such treatment would be called 'child abuse' these days! What has...

Re: Convince me NOT to go back to the UK

I'm not an expert at advising other people but can only speak about myself. Throughout my life I have often wanted to 'go back' to a former place and time of happy memories, especially in hard...

Re: Convince me NOT to go back to the UK

That's very true!!! For example I have just counted the number of invitations I have to visit friends this coming week -- six in all, and each will involve drinking and maybe preceeded by a banya!

Re: Convince me NOT to go back to the UK

Re: This cannot be hidden in a Jimmy Savile thread

Re: RIP Jimmy Saville
