1962 – Memories Added by Paul Smith Remember being stood outside the classroom and the headteacher would come along and tell you to go to his room. You knew this meant a couple cracks of the cane. Fortunately, you passed the wash basins on the way where could nip in and rub soap over both hands. I remember this helped reduce the sting. The only problem was getting six of the best – across your backside!!!
I remember being absolutely foul to a teacher with an unusual name – Mrs Strambuze!?. I flicked ink pellets across the classroom and then hid in the desk with the lid raised. The only problem was she always knew it was me and came along and slammed the lid down on my head.I made the poor woman’s life hell.
