Many countries and cultures have moved on from such attitudes and actions, thankfully. They all will, eventually, humanity's default is towards altruism, we will get there in the end, once intolerance and fundamentalism, in all its forms, has been seen off. Watch these TEDs to lift the spirits after that downer, sorry everyone. https://www.ted.com/talks/al_gore_the_case_for_optimism_on_climate_change?language=en http://www.ted.com/talks/hugh_evans_what_does_it_mean_to_be_a_citizen_of_the_world And something from the lovely human being John Lennon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhq-yO1KN8 IF -----Original Message----- From: Paul Sullivan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 14 April 2016 10:36 To: Fraser, Ian; [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: Child friendly hanging systems Not pretty indeed, but along the lines I was thinking when I read the subject line.

In an exhibition of vernacular furniture in 1982 at Temple Newsam House, there was a very ghoulish item , made in 1828, borrowed from Lancashire County Council, I have the catalogue here, and I quote: "Hanging chair Adapted from an old counting house stool by adding a back, arm-supports, arms and castors, the new members being screwed to the original frame. The chair was specially made for Jane Scott of Preston, age 12, who was hanged at Lancaster Castle in March 1828 for the murder of her mother. A disability prevented her from walking to the gallows, so she was strapped into this chair and wheeled to the drop." Sometimes the truth is not pretty.
