Stuart Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 That if I cheeked the local bobby he'd clip me round the ear - and if I ran home and told my Dad then he'd give me a right good hiding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 That if I cheeked the local bobby he'd clip me round the ear - and if I ran home and told my Dad then he'd give me a right good hiding. same here. My Dad had a huge leather strap for the deed. I was always in trouble (some things just don't change, do they?) Several times I was taken to the local station for a bit of a frightener. Didn't really work as I was up to the same the next day. Nothing really serious, mostly entering bomb damaged buildings and throwing stones at the windows.

Bob Bobbleton Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 If you are ever in the scales of justice (local paper court snippets) for urinating in a public place, we will disown you I thought they were taking the pee, but always have a slasher before I leave the local... I'll get my coat, else I won't feel the benefit when I go outside... Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff oakley Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Always put on clean underwear in case you are in an accident Do a fair days work for a fair days pay Even if you just become a road sweeper, make sure the streets you do are the cleanest Treat everyone as you would like to be treated Never get in to debt, save up and then buy what you need not what you want.

dhutch Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 . . telling the time from a clock with a dial . . . We got taught how to tell it was 9 o-clock, after then it was fair game to wake the parents, heaven forbid making too much noise before then!
