Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

Oh Please...
I'm not of the ilk that say's "spare the rod and spoil the child"
However I am of the ilk that say's "A good clip round the ear'ole is all they need"
What happens now is that some oily little kid leaves school, college, whatever and thinks that his "rights" protects him from physical abuse. Then he meets his Nemesis. To para-phrase Snatch,
"A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me"
So yes, I agree in a lot of 1960's values.
Actions have consequences. Better to learn them young when the most damage you'll get is a stinging sensation than to grow up thinking you can say what the fuck you like, to whoever you like, and expect to walk away. Or, indeed, to walk.
Still - each to their own - but my kids will grow up to:
"know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run."
Cheers
