Changing room slipperings were not as severe as a gym slippering,the difference was when a boy was given a changing room slippering,it was touching toes,and the pe master would allow us to jump up after each whack, only for a few seconds before ordering us back into position.
On the other hand gym slipperings were administered with the boy over the vaulting horse usually six whacks,quickly administered,this was agony,i know because i felt it on a few occasions.
Schooldays are the most painful of a boy’s life.
