I really don’t know if your just having a laugh, or if you actually are incapable of grasping the simplest of ideas.
I really don’t know if your just having a laugh, or if you actually are incapable of grasping the simplest of ideas.That's ironic given your contribution to this thread.
But fair play, you've managed to outdo your initial post with the one you just put up about enduring hardship. Quite an achievement that.
It’s just a valid example of how the public used to be able to cope with severe hardship. And is used as just one example.
I do realise that some on here won’t be able to grasp that though.

They didn't, lots of soldiers suffered from undiagnosed PTSD and were mentally as well as physically scarred.It’s just a valid example of how the public used to be able to cope with severe hardship. And is used as just one example.

Not harrasement. Its sexual assault of a child and if true should be prosecuted and put on the registerSexual harassment of a minor if he was 15.

This thread is getting ot of hand (again)
I was young in an era when a school teacher would throw a board rubber around the classroom if he (very few she's) felt like it. A piece of equipment consisting of a hardwood handle weighing about 1kg. I have had my hand split with a cane more than once, and I was one of the better behaved pupils.
Things have changed, and massively for the better, which is obviously good, but that's how things were years ago.

They coped with it in the sense of they kept breathing in and out and their hearts kept beating. And you do realise suicide was a criminal act until the 60's and would leave your family with nothing if you took that way out. They stayed alive, not coped.
Do you know how many soldiers that came back from the front line of the World Wars that never talked about it even to their dying day? How many at the mere mention of it would get tears in their eyes at the thoughts of what they'd experienced? How many suffered from shellshock and were shot as cowards and traitors for having the temerity to lose their minds under constant bombardment that they couldn't even function? How many returning from later wars like Vietnam and Falklands have PTSD? How many people cracked in history under torture either because their brains just couldn't cope or admitting to something they hadn't done and being put to death would be a blessed relief for them?
Even civilians aren't immune. If you read the accounts of officials about the aftermath of the Coventry Blitz the consensus was far from blitz spirit. The morale and demeanour of the city folk was considered so low that it concluded if the Luftwaffe had come back one more night the spirit of the people would've broken entirely and the war effort here would've ceased to be functional for months.
In WW1 the Silver War Badge was awarded to wounded soldiers discharged from service not because of the inherent goodwill of the government but because the soldiers kept being harassed by the public for being cowards not wanting to fight.
It does seem a lot of those that talked about the war (and those that glorified in it) were those that never actually served at the front. Hence the constant referral to Blitz spirit. now don't get me wrong having that kind of fear and bombing is going to be fucking horrifying but in comparison to serving on the frontlines it's a pale comparison.
Love the blitz spirit apart from when it comes to giving up any freedom at all, like they did for years in WW2.It does seem a lot of those that talked about the war (and those that glorified in it) were those that never actually served at the front.

That’s true, although I had one teacher in primary school that didn’t really care about that. Many times that hard block of wood went flying past my head. It got a few people. He’d also slam the lift top on your desk down on your fingers if you had it open. We were 8-9 years old and literally everyone was too scared to say anything to anyone else. The classroom was positioned so it wasn’t near any others too, so he was getting away with it.Corporal punishment wasn't legal in the mid 90s

Karma got him in the end, in a big way.
Yeah we got the board rubbers in the 90s too - I think that we used to get threatened with the cane and told there was one in the school still.That’s true, although I had one teacher in primary school that didn’t really care about that.
