I suspect that the lady who reported receiving 12 strokes of the cane on the bare from a male prefect together with another sixth form girl, for sharing a bottle of wine had perhaps shared a few too many bottles of wine immediately prior to posting!
But what of the case reported by my greatly esteemed fellow contributor Willyeckaslike, where a lady from North Wales told him that a teacher gave her 12 strokes over her skirt shortly before she left school to even up some old scores? Or the case instanced by another contributor as being claimed in a CP publication as having been mentioned in The Sunday Times in 1984 as a quote from a STOPP publication, where three girls were each given 8 strokes of the cane with skirts raised for theft?
