I did my time between schools in Scotland and England.I`m not going to reveal where obvioulsy.In Scotland the tawse was the choice of impliment and this was usualy administered on the hands 1-6 strokes depending on the offence and the Teacher.I was a bit of a tearaway back then and was tawsed most weeks sometimes more than 3 times a week for whatever they caught me for.My time in England saw me at a school where the cane was dished out like confetti.Unlike Scotland it was considered a prize trophy amongst the lads to sport your welted butt in the shower.Anyone just after the cane could hardly wait to show how brave he was by flashing his arse to all who wanted to look.
