Ouch…………

I reckon the disaffected and the unbalanced would find ways of acquiring weapons regaeerdless of the legislation. I hasn’t stopped them here with our draconian anti-gun legislation passed in kneejerk fashion after Dunblane.

And often the disaffected and unbalanced come across as perfectly proper and plausible individuals.

Sounds like they have been reliving the Black Buck raids in the East Riding….!!:(

Presumably whichever squadron it is likely to be, the Spitfire will probably be the most common aircraft type, as so many variants were manufactured.

I got my fair share of physical punishment at school and always fully deserved. Discipline, respect and responsibility were key parts of the realationship between child and teacher in those days and I suspect are almost unheard of now. You were punished if you deserved it and you knew it. So you made sure you avoided it. If you didn’t you accepted it as deserved.

Acceptance of discipline, respect for one’s teachers, and responsibility for one’s actions would transform school life.

We are of a mind, BB!!

The world we live in is not one with which we have to be in sympathy. Your first statistic is very revealing. My mother spent her life teaching, in both the private and public sectors, predominantly the latter, and was a Deputy head for the last few years and I recall her mentioning claims against her colleagues and her staff on only 2 or 3 occasions in 40 years! What are all these claims, for heaven’s sake?
