General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

There's nowt wrong with a slap. I got plenty enough of 'em when I was a kid and I am a normal,well-adjusted person and have never committed any violence on anyone or any animal in my life. If we did summat wrong or were disrespectful to our elders we got a crack. Even the bobbies used to give kids a slap if they deserved it. There's a difference between a slap on the legs or arms from a battering though. A young woman I work with gives her kids a clout if they're out of order but you have to be able to exercise control of your temper first. I do not in any way condone violence or abuse on humans or animals.
