He told us to take note of what was about to happen, then announced that both boys would be receiving six.
Approaching the first boy, he got about five to six feet away then ran and walloped the plimsoll onto the waiting backside,
there was a howl from the recipient, he then went round the other side and repeated the punishment on the other boy, we could see this boy’s face, his teeth clenched and a hiss of breath omitted from his mouth.
Six times this was repeated and I’m glad it was not me, both boys had tears in their eyes when finally climbing from the vaulting horse.
