probably like yourself, i was brought up in a different era.  Not that we had the money, but even if we did, if I tried pester power on my parents, it would invariably hurt my ear/backside/back of my legs....

We are the same age (give or take a few months), so I know exactly what you mean (and you probably know exactly what I think of the world as well).

Thing is though, times have changed.
Don't get me wrong, I am staunch in that I tell my kids twice....and the third time they get the backhander.
Any do-gooder has a problem with that, then they can look after the kids when they become delinquents with no respect....but while the kids are in my care, they will learn the basics of life (respect your elders, don't f**k about with people, and treat others the way you wanna be treated yourself).

I know the way we were brought up didn't hurt us, but I think (sometimes) things could have been done slightly better IMO.

Exactly

Update on this - after a couple of weeks after last post from me, the insurance company appointed solicitor said we did not have a 51% chance of winning so they were ont prepared to fund the proceedings. I contested this and after a battle the insurance comapny referred it to a barrister (at their expense) who confirmed that we have 55% chance of winning.

Today the papers were filed at the Employment Tribunal Service paid for by Insurance Company - we are 3 weeks inside time limit. Hopefully we will get a result on this now. At least for time being all expenses being picked up by insurance company.

Probably no further news for 6 weeks now. But you have to fight everything to get these insurance companies to meet your claims
