We managed to attend lessons in the afternoon but it was two days before we could sit down without flinching.
Julie told me that although the caning had really hurt her she felt excited by the whole idea.
I told her not to be so daft as I did not want to experience anything like that ever again.
When we returned our sashes the following Monday I swore then never to wear one again no matter what colour and I am pleased to report that I never have.
Julie on the other hand wore a red sash on three more occasions and a yellow sash twice more.
