When I was age 11 and in 4th form in Junior school about 15 of us boys volunteered , yes volunteered to get the the slipper from the headmaster at break time, What happened we were playing football and the ball went over the fence onto the the road, 3 of the boys opened the school gate egged on a few boys and went onto the road to get the ball, That was a megga offence then and think it still is now, They got caught by the playground teacher and sent them to the head to get the slipper. We all felt guilty for some reason and thought we deserved to be slippered as well. We went to the school hall just in time to see the head getting ready to slipper the 3 boys, We explained why we were there and was told to line up.
