My experience of school was very similar. When I started in primary school the Belt was still in force (it wasn't outlawed in Scotland until 1982) and discipline was strict although I have to say that I never got the belt myself and I only knew a couple of kids that ever got it. When I started at secondary it was Detention and Expulsion but those fell by the wayside in favour of 'Yellow sheets' that were written up and the offender had to take it home to be signed by their parents. Needles to say that, as the years progressed the roughest and worst of the pupils got increasingly more aggressive and cocky to the point where, before I left school, I saw more than a few teachers thumped by the nastiest of the pupils without anything real in the way of punishment dished out. It says a lot that only two mothers in Scotland were responsible for getting the belt banned using the European Court of Human Rights and there were few voices amongst the general public of Scotland in support of their 'crusade'. Personally I think the shit state of this country is due in no small part to the removal of any sort of proper discipline in schools. I really admired the old guard teachers at school, tough but fair and actually bloody clever a lot of them and they were gradually replaced by hippy pricks, soft as shit and full of airy fairy ideas rather than solid knowledge, grit and determination and the old guard actually cared about pushing kids to achieve something.

As a 6yr old at my lower school I regularly got bullied by three kids who were all nearly 10yrs old & due to leave for middle school soon. Obviously 4yrs difference at that age makes a huge difference.
I was never gonna win a fist fight. So the next time they tried to beat me up I cracked the biggest one in the face with my shoe bag (do you remember them? 🙂) Unfortunately for him the bag contained my rugby boots. It made a right mess of his nose 🤣

Unfortunately for me, his Mum was a teacher at our school. So she went to the headmistress with her mangled son to complain about my "attack" 🙄

I was summoned to the headmistress's office but told to wait outside. Consequently I could hear all the bullshit being spouted about how I'd attacked him & his friends for no reason etc etc 😡

Well.......
Also outside the office was a trolley of books with a sheet over it. They were awaiting the headmistress's approval before being allowed into the school library.
It had arrived whilst I was stood there & the lady had gone to get a second trolley load.
So I climbed into the first trolley & waited for her to come back & knock on the office door.
I then got wheeled in and parked up the corner with the other trolley.

Eventually I lost patience with listening to all the bullshit about my alleged attack on her darling son.
I burst out from the trolley & started laying into him. It didn't take much to send him running/crying cos apparently his nose was already broken 😉

I was extremely chuffed with my Trojan Horse style attack 🤗
But my Mum was much less impressed with her dressing down by the headmistress.
Allegedly I was very close to being expelled?
That taught me that there's very little genuine justice in this world. So if you're gonna pull off such a stunt to exact your revenge. Ensure that you don't get caught 😉

A good many folk firmly think that their car is New when they buy them, but some have been sitting around for some time, year of manufacture is the guide line not the reg plate

It's not just the British it's Western Civilisation as a whole that seems to be suffering from a collective insanity. The press now pump out fiction instead of news and people believe it. Here in Scotland I find myself continually astonished that all the independence mob actually believe that Sturgeon and her cronies being arrested is all a plot by Mi5 and the Westminster government and the failure to build the long awaited ferries and the crumbling infra structure of the country as a whole is blamed on Westminster rather than on the SNP government who are in charge of it not to mention treating rapists under 25 as 'juveniles' and giving them trifling sentences for raping girls of thirteen years old. Until recently too I found myself being worried for the younger generation but, talking to my step kinds who are in their twenties I realise that they younger generation are on board with all this shite and, quite frankly, deserve all they get for being so stupid. Hopefully I will get to live out my days in peace out here while civilisation continues to crumble.
