Alex my Mum taught myself and my siblings manners as well using Love and a leather belt 1 1/2 inches wide and 1/8th inch thick when required. Not often, just enough to make me stop and think before repeating what I did last time. Keith is right about the youth of today having no manners and in a lot of cases no respect either for other people or their property. Some call it a fact of life but I still say that most could be taught the same way I was taugh and to hell with the idiots who brought in this 'No smacking' laws.
OK enough of a rant back to my coffee
