I was smacked as a kid. Only when I did something really awful. But we are talking more than 25 years ago, rules have since changed.

And I would like to clarify that I was never beaten with a stick and made to go toe to toe with my pops in medieval armour...that is, well, extreme to say the least. I really believe that we might have less annoying little brats hanging around provincial town centres if thier parents A: Cared about how they are bought up and B: Are allowed to give the little gaks a thump around the ear when they get out of line.
