There was a lot of it about when I was growing up. My mother warned me, though, and despite receiving several offers to view gentlemen's puppies, kittens and, in one case, pheasants, I turned most of them down.


But then, in the 70s, corporal punishment was commonplace, teachers smoked and sometimes drank in class and sexism was rife. The streets were filthy, the economy was broken and people knitted their own clothes. We've, thankfully, come a long way since then.


Which is probably why these offences are coming to light now rather than in the days when at least some level of abuse was taken for granted. Whether it will make any difference is anyone's guess, but I, for one, won't mind too much if the culprits have some awkward explaining to do. It's none too soon for any of them.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
