[Margaret Pilkington]

There were fewer policemen Shakey......they didn't go around in two's.....they rode bikes.... and they would give you a stern telling off if they caught you up to any mischief.....and if they thought you deserved it they would give you a clip around the ear and then take you home and tell your parents what they had done. Parents didn't sue the police for the fact that their child had had a clip around the ear......you got another good hiding for needing to have the policeman bring you home.......I have not suffered as a result of such an up-bringing......I have a strong respect for authority.
Without a strong respect for authority the country is going to slide into anarchy.....it is half-way there already.
