What hasn't been mentioned in any of the above was the amount of child abuse inside the family, in schools and state institutions that was swept under the carpet.
Nor how violence in the family was treated by the police as "a domestic" and no action taken.
Nor how disabled children were institutionalised in 'special' schools or asylums.

Excusez moi, Monsieur Creeky, I don't 'have a go' at anyone for using red font but I do take the pee out of the way 'some' people use it.. because it's funny 
Anyway, I'm sure the OP was only intended to be a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek trip down memory lane not a sworn affidavit claiming that everything about the good old days was better!!
