This relates not to myself but to another boy at my school. Some boys (about 6) were caught smoking, a regular occurrence, and sent to the head for a caning. One of the boys somehow failed to turn up for the caning, and the following day his name was read out in assembly and told to report to the head. He had never been in trouble before, and his father in fact was a headmaster at another school (And, according to FR handed out quite a few canings himself).
