What the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well I WOKE up this morning and heard the news.
No longer are we allowed to use the term Breast Milk, it is now Chest Milk.
Do they understand what this entails?
It means that men, who all have chests, can Chest Feed.
I am aware as are most of you that Breast feeding was something we were all very good at sometime during our life.
But some how Chest Feeding does not have the same attraction, unless of course you were maybe Bonny on a UCL.
But not wearing that bloody outfit.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Well, I always thought the chest was the structure under the breasts, sounds like another issue from the department of idiots.

Teachers are being advised not to say good morning boys and girls at the start of the teaching day, as could upset some children.
The Woke society is alive and well.

Re: What the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I only went to council schools and didn"t have all this garbage. Our teachers taught us respect if we needed it , and sometimes we did. One school I was at they had what you called houses , and if remember the idea of such was to teach you the rudiments of competition in sports and such like. Every house had a name and remember my house was Redpath , every house had a motto and ours was Manners Maketh Man and if you didn"t live up to that on school premises then you took the consequences. None of this physcology crap about little Johnny being traumatised. Maybe a lot more of ex little Johnnys would be better citizens today if they had been brought up in the correct manner. I went to school with a couple who went to Borstal , I saw them a couple of years later and it did them the world of good. My first trip to sea there were 4 boy ratings ex Borstal boys and the sea gave them the final touch to their education. And would imagine they all did well in life. there are too many of these so called sociologists who havent even lived in the real world themselves telling others how to llve theirs. Self discipline is a fast disappearing subject, and needs to be taught in our schools as most parents have no idea and are restricted in their teaching it to their own offspring. JS

Re: What the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Same as myself John S, and discipline was pretty strict, but we knew the rules, and if you went against them, you were punished, but no complaints from us. I remember the Head boy, who's job had been to collect all the empty milk bottles, and got caught at the rear of the school, throwing the remaining full bottles in the air, and allowing to smash on the concrete.We were all (boys) gathered in the main hall, and he was called up to the small stage, made to bend over a chair, and six whacks across his **** with a cane, you could hear a pin drop, none of us wanted any of that. The thing that sticks in my mind was you could see dust fly from the **** of his trousers, and also he never yelled out. Can you imagine that now ??, kt

Re: What the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
At my grammar school, if caught and told to go to the head masters office to be caned, you would stuff blotting paper sheets down the backside of your trousers to reduce the impact of the cane on your nether regions. Mind you with our Latin/R.E. teacher,an ex army major, that didn't work as his method of punishment for any misdemeanor was to call "you there,sonny boy" to stand by his desk where after asking why the unfortunate pupil had broken the rules, before you could answer he would poke you hard in the stomach with his swagger stick causing you to double over in pain.
