That's not allowed anymore so now a fellow Head Chef will recruit somebody I have sacked, realise he/she is a t****r and consequently think I am a t****r. The reference forms I am now sent to fill in cannot differentiate between a real star and a pain in the a**e. It's not right. L****e B*****r!!! FF,

It seems as though we are bringing children up in a dream world. Don't do or say anything which might upset them. Tell them they are all doing fantastic Give everyone an A pass Tell everyone they can go to university LB is well versed in how useless and molly coddled the young men of today are - yes it's a problem - but just wait until we are entirely reliant as a country on these people ! Parents need to understand their job is not to make little Johnny/Janet as happy as possible and give them everything they want as and when they demand it but to raise them in preperation for the rest of their lives which are going to be a whole lot different !

Have all parents turned into morons, are rose tinted glasses given out in maternity homes? LB I have heard that teachers are unable to give bad school reports, If this is the case, then is it any surprise that all parents think their children are near perfect? FF xx Rod,

Ninety per cent walked in hands in pockets, chewing gum, piercings and attitude. Within five minutes I would let them know who was in charge and give them a taste of a b********g chef style, not a teachers 'please don't do that'. I installed a sense of discipline into those little blighters and lectured them at every opportunity. Years on I met five of them in a pub and they all thanked me for, quote: 'getting me ready for the outside world'. The do-gooders want to stop wrapping them in cotton wool, I learnt the hard way and it didn't give me any emotional problems! LB Rod,

I think one thing which really has changed in society is this constant need to apportion blame rather than accept responsibility It's always someone else's fault and not our own ! Could be another thread here ! You're also right - they need a damn good thrashing :) Regards Rod FF

Having had first hand experience of Yobs and their parents I have very often heard the phrases; "Its not my son/daughters fault that they have got in with the wrong crowd, What else is there for them to do, there is nothing here for teenagers and the one I have heard the most is; He/She is a good child really,they just need to be given a chance". Bless the little bx**##*. They all need a good Thrashing :) FF xx In my experience of the so called “Yob Culture”, I also blame the parents.

The police you can understand, somebody holds grudges etc But who the hell can have a problem with someone who drags you unconscious from a burning building or saves your life when you have a heart attack ? Staggering ! RC WoE
