There are holes to be picked here, as you well know, but no one can accuse you of not making your point succinctly. I wonder if the case for amending the firearms legislation has ever been argued or has it just been left, forgotten by everyone, except those whose innocent pleasure was hampered and spoilt?

Lovely – I’ll bet he’s really good company.:D

Runway06 -“Discipline (obviously not to that extreme!) is the Answer. And it all starts at home with the parents and also in the school.”

Exactly and coupled with respect. Now children are encouraged to be “adults” when they are 6. Whatever words are used to describe it our social structure has broken down. And my experience of other countries where I have spent a great deal of time in the last 40 years is that the UK experience is not shared elsewhere.

There, the family unit, in which children are children and where there is respect for their elders predominates. It is seen as old fashioned and fuddy-duddy in the UK but it is this lynchpin which held together the relationships between children and parents and children and teachers.

My mother taught all her life in some truly awful inner city elementary schools, but even she would be appalled at way some schools are run today, and the attitudes of parents, children and staff.

It was the ears that did it for me when you first posted Harry’s photo. Didn’t you say he was Victoria’s beagle………….;):D

If you’ve not seen it yet Air Show List

Thanks – no, I had not checked the website for a while. It looks very mouth-watering, so lets hope the skies are clear and the rain stays away.

Although I have been to the Museum I have not attended an airshow for years and years so would I be right in thinking it is not a vey good day for a 75 year old with poor mobility, despite her enthusiasm to be involved in the BoB events?

I agree, PMN, but the concern is registered in Stuart’s last sentence. Governments have a habit of not viewing anti-terrorism action as temporary and that is the problem. I think I am right in saying that UK local authorities use a piece of anti-terrorism legislation to justify snoopping on their rate-payers’ lives.

That’s true.

:D:D:D Lots of people are coming back with Hectors House :D:D my era :rolleyes::D

Here you are, Anna:D:D:D
