Don't know if I was told this story or read it in a lads mag, but apparently true, gaffer said to his apprentice pop to the shop and get me a pack of benson and hedges and if they haven't got those just get me something else, apprentice came back and said no benson and hedges so I got you a cornish pasty.

Lol...may be it was a hint to get him to pack up smoking ..

Hit the nail on the head Ian. Schools are too soft unfortunately I never lived in the days of the 'cane' but I wish it was still available as some kids need it to wake up. I think once you leave school you should be forced ti go into the army if yiy haven't arranged an apprenticeship.

What is that then . ?.

we had the cane at our school as i am sure many members experienced and looking back it was not a bad thing.
what did upset me was that a fellow pupil albeit being a prefect in the same house was allowed to beat the younger pupil as well, and this could be for a small a matter of not polishing his shoes to his standard.

should mention, the fact i got kicked out for smacking an RSM is irrelevant! I am far more disciplined now

That would be a cardinal sin...did you get MCTC.

A lot of the problem is the molly coddling culture of the country, nothing is ever anybody's fault. no job? that's not your fault, here's some benefits. addicted to drugs? that's not your fault go back to work if you ever get clean, here's some benefits. Don't like your council house? that's completely reasonable, here's a different one!

No one HAS to do anything anymore because if they don't want to there will be someone there to do it for them or bail them out. As a country we are just too soft!

No, I was midway through basic training when it happened, 1 yr junior leader, I just got "advised" the army wasn't for me and did one.

Still appreciate all the lessons I was taught thou, and I've never intentionally hit anyone since!
