But we should bear in mind that before the industrial increase in life expectancy, the average duration of a marriage was less than it is now, even though there was little or no divorce. Only a minority of kids reached adulthood with both natural parents still alive. Multiple marriages and step-parenting were normal. Nothing odd about those Biblical references to women with 5 or 7 husbands.
A good example would be 1919 after the war and flue, I think what may have been different was the families used to step into the breach, many a kid was brought up by grandparents, also due to the limited use of contraceptives, they often had aunties and uncles younger than themselves, must have been confusing.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

What wasn't so usual was the combination of step-parents and separate natural parents, with all the resulting contact and emotional issues....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

A judge has now said that the "context" of riot-related offences demands longer sentences.
A man has been remanded in custody for being found in Manchester city centre in possession of 6 cans of lager."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be.

What do you suggest we do? it seems nothing, but also seems you won't actually say that.
So all these people INVOLVED in the rioting, organising, and taking part (Or merely going out for the night having a laugh, as you would suggest). What would you like to see done?0 -
As per usual on this forum, Graham_Devon's posts are exactly what I was thinking.
However I really need to add my amazement at people insisting that folks losing their council houses after rioting is wrong and unfair. If it states in the contract that if anyone living in the property engages in criminal activity then they have to leave, then it's as simple as that. If you are living off state enforced charity then you should have great respect for the society that provides for you, and woe betide anyone who does otherwise.I am not really an Eskimo. I can hear what you're thinking... "Inuit!"0
