Not much fun these days in teaching adolescents I would presume.

I think back to all the “handy” lads that were at my Secondary school and I can’t ever remember seeing or hearing of a single incident either in school or outside school where a knife was part of the scenario in the 70’s.

Same when out at nights pubbing or clubbing, plenty of nights that involved a scrap and on one night in particular in Stourbridge it was pretty much an all out riot with the cops involved but it still only resulted in a massed scrap.

I do think a lot of this comes from a lack of boundaries and discipline from parents but it’s all too late now, we ain’t putting this bad genie back in its bottle.

Can anyone on here remember an instance in the 70’s or 80’s where they saw a knife at a scrap in this country?
