If the <br />"victim" was capable of still playing Rugby, I cannot believe he was badly injured<br />Tonk: I don't know whether there is any truth in this, but I have read somewhere that organisations, such as the Scouts, are finding it extremely difficult to recruit new leaders for a number of reasons, including the fact that potential volunteers are afraid to do so, for fear of being labelled paedaphiles. Thank you, Nanny!<br />As for the activities you describe, I too participated in such when I was a scout (happy days!) and cannot recall sustaining any injuries as a consequence. If Nanny has her way, all we will be allowed to do is sit on chairs and look at one another (no talking, you might say something which someone will find offensive!) whilst slowly vegetating!Lord of atlantis zzzzzzzzzzzznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-53814030002811169272011-01-17T11:22:46.953+00:002011-01-17T11:22:46.953+00:00Ken,
It seems we have at least one judge in this ...Ken,<br /><br />It seems we have at least one judge in this country blessed with commonsense.<br /><br />I wonder what Nanny would make of my time in the scouts; British Bulldog, Knife throwing, Camp fires, Cooking on the open fire......I could imagine Nanny getting so wound up with all that risk behaviour, she would explode!!<br /><br />I wonder how easily the Scouts find it to recruit adult leaders these days with all the "Child Safeguarding(sic)" rules we now have.Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
