The families it did happen in was kind of an open secret.  Went home last year and found out a few other things as well as some of those kids now adults had been guests of her majesty for domestic violence or sexual assault on there own children. We weren't allowed to go to certain houses as children now I know why.  Some things were not technically illegal until the mid 80's here. You could still get the cane and strap at school until 1986 here. My friend's mother put it best that unless your father or brother could beat up your husband women could have it fairly rough in some families. So yeah some of those movies that were offensive were still better than what could happen at home. I doubt it was any better in the US or UK.</blockquote>
