Sorry to hear Mark.
My kids are still quite young so I have not experienced the problem but from what I heard from friends and colleagues they cannot even give them a good spanking without kids complaining at school or telephone helpline and getting social services involved and potentially loosing kids. I am not saying that spanking or any other physical punishment is an answer to all questions but at some points it's the best way to get the message accross.

+1 on Connor.
And don't start me me on corporal punishment, If I'd gone home and told Dad that a policeman had clipped my ear I would of got something much more and sent to bed without any supper. Kids today don't believe me when I tell them things like that.

Thanks guys.
I'm planning to phone the garage/bodyshop tomorrow to get it booked in, hopefully in plenty of time to have it ready for the trip down to Cornwall. Agreed about Connor, although he was a young adult by the time I met him. For all I know he might have been a complete [insert preferred expletive here] when he was a kid Either way, he's a credit to you Brian and it's always great to see him at the meets Quote:
Slipper and cane might be a bit OTT/extreme but I think punishment has now reached the other extreme (ie none). There has to be some middle-ground, even Homer knows that ...

Our school was pretty strict too. Most of the teachers still wore capes and mortar boards, which helped to instil a feeling of authority I think. I suspect a priest's attire would do the same. We had one teacher known as Horace (nobody knew where the nickname originated, he was actually called Ian Stevenson) who was VERY strict. He was a 6ft-odd middle-aged English teacher with a booming voice that struck terror into you whenever he called out your name. In his lessons, if you so much as looked away from the front when he was talking, or fidgeted, he would sneak up behind your desk and throw your books onto the floor. With a booming voice like Windsor Davies in It Ain't Half Hot Mum, you would be instructed to pick your books up and meet him outside the staff room at lunch time for detention. Funny thing is, he was probably the best teacher I've ever had and I learned so much in his lessons! But the even funnier thing was, he drove a Citroen 2CV Dolly
