Oh those bad old days - it was Miss Peterson's 3 foot ruler round the legs in the primers; Mr Couch's strap called Oscar in Std 2; variations and permutations at Wellington College (no canes there).

There is an often quoted story the suggests that Labour may be to blame:

They walked to the polling booths in 1935 to vote Labour in. They drove to the polling booths in 1949 to vote Labour out.

Then we could point the finger at us baby-boomers who craved freedom and mobility - you have written about that in the past. We need solutions that feel like going forwards - sustainably of course.
