We had The Bumps on birthdays where people would hold you by the arms and legs and 'bump' you up and down on the ground for the number of times appropriate to which birthday it was !
At least you didn’t have the yellow car rule, where seeing a yellow car means that you could punch the nearest person in the arm and you weren’t allowed to punch back if the other person got you first.
It was World War 2 because of the rise of the Nazi party between the wars. His point about people of a certain age and the "we won the war" attitude is on the money. In 2001 I was working in the Dominican Republic on an IT contract. One evening in a bar restaurant an American called GIL abused a waitress who accedentally spilled la small amount of beer on his table insisting she bring a fresh glass of beer.

I just wish AL MURRAY was in the bar😅😅!
The war is a rich scource of material for Henning as is the World cup . He gets our bantering sense of humour , as does Sandy who now runs the show . WW1 was called the war to end all wars , and alternately the great war - sadly not for long .Nice to hear Jodi excited about a return to our shores .
It was hilarious when Rhod Gilbert talked about Denmark (where Sandi is from) having no daylight in winter, which is untrue. She gave him heck for it! She even ribbed him about it two years later when he was next on the show again.
They used to use bamboo canes to thrash us at school in the eighties. Every teacher had their own, usually kept in a tube soaked in oil to keep it flexible so they could give maximum power without it breaking.
My art teacher called his Brenda. One end had spilt from hitting too many hands, so he wrapped it in blue insulation tape. He said the tape was Brenda's skirt
I went to secondary school in the 1960s we were given the cane until I left in 1965.The headmaster had 7 canes on the wall and he let you pick which one.The first time I picked the smallest about 3ft long but I soon learnt that one hurt the most.😲👍🇬🇧
I love the way he can look at things, a drain on resources 😂 The cane in school. Where I went they caned your none writing hand. 6 hits of the cane on your palm and fingers... 😢 that tickled ❤ from Northeast England ❤️
I'm from South Africa and we never had birthday punches or any other forms of physical "celebrations". But we did have canings at school and parents who would hand out punishment if we got out of line, and we were all the better for it. A lot of modern problems with today's youth would be nipped in the bud with discipline enforced at school or a clip about their ear from parents. Repercussions are something that young people are never taught.
Bram Stoker was inspired by Whitby Abbey and wrote the novel in the town. No castle was involved. You could try and visit on one of the Dracula themed Goth weekends. The house he rented at the time is now an airbnb I think.
It was built by the Prince Regent, who became George IV. Hadn't heard of any Vicky connection - her favourite gaff was Osborne House on the Isle of White.
Indeed. The ruins of Whitby Abbey are haunting and very much worth a visit. I visited the UK back in 2006 for 2 weeks and that was one of the most memorable parts of it.
We used to get birthday bumps - one friend would hold the feet, the other hands and throw you up in the air. Up and down for the number of years of your birthday!
In my all-boys school, we had a 'birthday bash' where the birthday boy basically got bashed. The severity of which largely depended on how liked/disliked said boy was. I always lucked out because my birthday fell on the school's Founder's Day which was a holiday. In the army we had 'blanket parties' where your bunk mates would throw their blankets on one guy as he slept, totally covering him and raining down blows before quickly dispersing and pretending to be asleep before the guy could free himself from the blankets, never knowing who threw him the blanket party or partook in the festivities. 😂 This was done both for birthdays and for people who had done something to piss other people off.
WW1-the Great War,the War to end all Wars,the forgotten War and the Chemists War. They didn't realise at the time there was going to be a sequal of course and for years(20) it was referred to as simply 'the world War'.
WWII was the last declared war, everything else has been technically illegal.. they call them police actions and peacekeeping forces to avoid the contentions that come with them.
Yeah of course it is now but a lot of people really believed it then. World War I changed the world more than any other war before or since (including WW2), you have to understand the enormous psychological impact that had on the people of the time. Three empires ended and 15-20 million people died (about 115 000 of these American but hey, they won the war on their own as usual right?), it was unlike anything anyone could ever have imagined up to that point. Hindsight's 20/20
Probably bc the first is referred to as ‘the great war’ whereas the second is usially referred to as the second. The context of the German-British rivalry that crossed into sports is what allows us to know it’s the most recent one, which they’d be less aware of
In PE in my day we used to get "The Bessy" a studded football boot, if you were really bad you were sent to the headmaster for the cane, that was often in the open hand. In most classes they just threw things at you, usually chalk, or you got a clup around the ear.
I (English) lived on mainland Europe for a while, including Germany. I know we don't like to admit it, but the Germans have basically the same sense of humour as us and I don't know if it was just our weird friendship group but there was a lot of mockery going in both directions regarding WW2. I can remember one friend playfully complaining to some Germans about how they didn't have enough road signs and he kept getting lost because the exit signs on the autobahn didn't give enough information. He went on to tell these Germans they'd clearly only invaded Poland because they'd got lost on the way back from Austria. I was MORTIFIED until I realised the Germans found it funny (though of course... choose your audience wisely when making comments like that!). I also had a friend out there who worked as a mechanic, and one of his German co-workers was using a metal part that looked like a grenade. Apparently this guy spent the whole shift throwing it at any English co-workers he could find, saying it was a gift for them. They ended up having like a "cowboys and Indians"-style kids battle in the workshop lol.
Birthday bumps used to happen when I was in school in the UK, but that basically equated to being punched in the arm an equal amount of times to how old you were that day.
My mother would tug our hair for the number of years then say 'duck, hen or goose?' If the reply was duck it would be 'one more for luck!' Hen was 'start again!' and would proceed to give you another round of tugging. Goose was 'please let loose' and she would let go, but only after tugging your hair in tandem.
I was given the cane in primary school, my principal did NOT like me at all, I got it I'd say 3 times, this was late 80's here in AU, middle of the playground and I felt a burning sensation on the back of my legs, I'm not saying it didn't hurt, it did like all buggery, but I learned my lesson, some of the kids I see today could have used some corporal punishment, some people say it doesn't work, I can say it does. We used to give birthday punches, nothing hard, except maybe when you got to the teen years, boys will be boys I guess, you try to hurt them, all the while knowing you'd get the same or worse on your birthday. It was never done in anger or anything, just something we did.
Thanks guys, we’ve all learned something new here. Her friends used to ‘spank’ her but they weren’t ’hard ones’! Can’t wait for you to come to the UK were going to love your innocence 😊

I would like to suggest to you that you both watch the Thames TV series "World at War " i am not the depressive type but the series is considered the best series ever made on this subject with the golden voice of Lawrence Oliver as narrator . I can see chilling cross overs to today but it does not have to happen. Many have never seen or heard of the series but as teachers i believe will be a useful tool to watch in your own private time.
Us for birthdays we used to pour water n drinks and powder and whoop the celebrant. Proper whooping. Then take him out for drinks and a party If it's a lady we just pour drinks n flour/powder on them. Then party
The 1st WW was called the Great war or the last great war. Of they chose they changed it. Still. Some historians say. That Napoleon wars the 1st WW. it was mostly a imperialism war around the world. Not just in Europe. Two Historian made a list of of 8 world wars. Both agreed generally on the list. Look it up. Been on most of the day. I'll name one. Mr H. Herwig.not joking😅.
Read up about bristol and things like blackbeard the pirate,his pub thats still here and still a pub you can go to,many many many other things in and around bristol too! Its also where i live and its embarrassing the number of times ive watched your videos,mainly because of their value and how you both are,but jodie is also part to blame aswell!😳🙊🤣
Not sure why but you guys seemed very underwhelmed or unimpressed by Henning knowing about spanking of birthday kids in the US. That is a (cultural) detail that doesn't have 'obvious mentioned somewhere at some point' written all over it at all. You seem to think it's perfectly logical foreigners would know that.
I get the distinct impression you don't know the basics of the two most catastrophic events of the twentieth century. 1) WW1 aka "the Great War" 2) WW2 You seem confused between the two, particularly the comments at the end, where you seem to confuse the place in history of the two. And how you can think Henning might have been referring to WW1 is extraordinary, obviously the last war is going to be higher in consciousness than WW1, particularly as popular culture has a greater moral outrage at the behaviour of Germany in WW2, even though the atrocities committed by Germany in WW1 against the Belgians etc, and by the use of gas, were horrendous.
My military history's not good enough to know how true that is, but one thing I do know is that they suffered more military casualties than most of the rest of the world put together. Both the UK and US figures are under half a million, while in the Soviet Union it is estimated at 8 - 11 million, almost twice as many as in Germany. Second to the Soviets in terms of military casualties is China. A similar imbalance occurs with regard to civilian casualties - bearing in mind that deaths from war-related famine are included in the figures. In terms of civilian casualties, China is roughly on a par with the Soviets. In both cases, deaths resulted from a mixture of military activity and starvation.

In the 90's, I knew somebody, who knew somebody who had the birch, he never did anything wrong again.
One of my dad's friends was the same. He was a bit of a tearaway, always up to something, but after being birched he was a reformed character.
WW I was indeed called :
👉 ... " The Great War " ... 👈
Why World War One Nick ?
In my school in England we had the birch, slipper, cane, riding crop up till 1980...😂
You didn't have the birch or crop. you had the cane for boys and slipper for girls.
At my school, our teacher had a shark tank below the classroom. If you got a question wrong.... 🦈
I live in Pendal, the home of the Pendal witches, I'd gladly show you around where it all took place.
We had bumps (being held up and dropped to the floor) or hair pulls for birthdays.
