AIBU to think that the vandals need to be locked in a classroom for a week with Smith's Shorter Latin Primer and taught the correct case endings for the phrase 'Local homes for local people' before being made to spray it on the wall 1000 times ?

Smith's Shortbread Eating Primer, surely?

Arf at SilverDragonfly1. Was wondering where I'd remembered that from. Clearly Molesworth is more memorable than the correct use of the gerund which I suspect is what might be needed here...

Is it bad that I'm racking my brains trying to remember my A-level Latin?
