I'll agree with Boggert on that one, but I'm reminded of an occasion when I was out with my dear lady and we wanted to get into a shop which had a group of yobs standing in the doorway. I watched as a couple of people tried to get in and were intimidated into giving up.
I just went straight through the middle of them, one got trappy, saying he had a knife. I lost it at that point and told him to shove it up his 'arris', and to ' Foxtrot Oscar'. He and his 'homies' bottled it.
In hindsight, not the wisest thing I've ever done, but I was riled by their whole attitude. :evil:

Now you see I work in a place where the students call me Sir all day long.....they dont spit, swear, put chewing gum under the seats. They wear a suit on a friday evening to attend the club on site where there allowed a 3 drink maximum....and nobody argues. They attend lessons 5 mins early and with prep complete, shirts tucked in and ties done up properly . . . . But 'how' I hear you cry?
All this disciplin is installed in them by our RSM, ( one for four full time military personal working at the college) a tiny giant of man, standing approx 5ft, who legand has it is the quikest person in the british army with a bergan!!! He has the ability to mingle amongst them before going of like an 'H' bomb from within.......and this just proves one thing - Military disciplin works for the kids of today!!!
bring back national service!

I had a kid 13-15 ish in B&Q ,he was behind me in the que when I felt a tug on my belt then I remembered I had my work phone (old nokia house brick) on the back of my jeans. I felt the tug again then I went for my wallet just to see if the phone was still there it was ,Then the tug again ...
At this point I turn around and grabbed his jumper and explained that if he tried to nick it again I would snap his <edit> fingers off ..the reply I got was there were cameras on the tills and if I did hurt him I would get done then he smiled and told me to <edit> ..
I smiled back and said quietly "there arnt any outside :twisted:" He turned a funny shade of white put his stuff down and walked out followed by his misses saying "what you do that for"
Saw them at the bus stop 10 mins later he gave the usual hand gesture ,I put on the brakes and indicated ,He dived through hedge and started running :lol: :lol: :lol:
I blame the Parents for not teaching respect..
crazymac:
I read with interest the bit about people that grew up in the 70's and 80's that haven't taught their kids respect!
Well, I'm one of them parents, and I couldn't agree more!! I held off having kids until I was 33, I now have a 7 yr old girl, who KNOWS about respect for herself and others. it is instilled at home, and backed up in the school she attends (a catholic school even though neither me or the wife are catholics or even very religious!)
I see so many peeps the same age as me, who have 14 15 and 16 year old kids and often they are sods. It is possible to bring up kids well though!! My brother lives in the middle of Leeds (Wortley) and has two, one 18 yesterday (boy) and one 15 in December (girl) They are great kids, respect their elders, work for what they have (nephew bought his own car) and respect themselves as well!
There is a "joke" that goes around about how we survived the 70's etc, but its true, we were/are risk takers. If the teacher told you off, you knew you would get a telling at home, not the cane or belt etc, just an unhappy parent!! My mum brought 4 of us up on her own after my Dad died, we gave her some troubles, but never lost the respect for her! I was taken home once by the police when I was about 14!! I got such a hard time from my mum about it, it never happened again, nowadays the parent would be fronting up to the police threatening to take them out or complain to the bosses!!
I really believe that there is a good case for national service! even if its a year before going to Uni or starting an apprenticeship. It would solve a lot in my opinion!
Disco Matt:
Problem is, the forces don't want the troublemakers and it's a bit unfair to the respectful hard-working ones to expect them to drop everything for a year and be pushed through discipline that they don't need. I know I used to get heartily sick of the obnoxious kids in school being given all sorts of incentives while those of us who obeyed (most :lol:) of the rules got nothing.
