one of my mates was saying in pub other week he was in favour of bringing back the stocks for petty crimes rather than asbos, comm. Still some originals from way back on the village green near me.

At first thought ludicrous but more you think about it its not as daft as first seems. Put the fuckers in for an hour and lets throw smelly veg and fruit at them for an hour (ok you would have to ban tins) . Would be good way to spend sunday morning and practice your throwing arm. And I reckon if you had to endure it there's no way you would want to go back in.

There should also be different objects allowed for how many times you been in stocks. On third time potatoes and hard fruit would be allowed.Now that would be good - the guy in the stocks (or bird) would be shitting themselves as people took aim)

Again I could go on but you get the general idea.......
