A nice polite youngster can seem to be an intimidating thug, if you are old and vulnerable and they are sitting on your fence at eleven oclock at night

The trouble is with parents who won't hold their children responsible but say "it must be the school/governments/society's fault""See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

When I were a lad you'd only whine about a clip round the ear if it was undeserved, and even then you'd think twice, for fear of getting another one.Comment

I got a clip around the ear from a teacher when I messed around once. I deserved it and it had the desired effect.
I gave a kid around the cuff around the ear when he and his mates were basically having a game of chase around a packed shop on a Saturday morning years ago. It pissed me and a number of other people off, and I couldn't have given a crap about the consequences. It stopped their game and got me a round of applause from the other customers.
If my kid was showing an equal amount of disrespect to other people, he's only got himself to blame if he gets a smack too.Comment
