Well things have changed and not for the better.
If you got a kick in the arse from a teacher, Peeler, neighbour, it was likely you were up to no good and deserved it.
What gets to me is that, we all (working class) had it tough, it wasn't easy for anyone outside the 'richest few' to gain Higher Education, if you were lucky one or two of your chums made it to Uni, whilst the rest of us went to trades or what ever.
I don't mind accommodating even embracing other cultures, but I don't want us having to change ours to suit them.
