My misfortune was almost always to be the tallest boy in the dormitory, and the one with the largest feet, [ and thus the largest sole on the shoe ] so it was invariably my shoe which was selected, which was even harder to bear, especially as the results were not likely to improve one’s standing with one’s friends! In addition, the slippering was administered over just your pajamas, and these offered little or no protection.
The usual punishment would, so far as I can recall, have been 6 of the best, although I think the first time I received a slippering as a comparative junior [ probably I was about 9 years old ] it was just 4, while one of the last was when I a Dormitory Captain, and as such you always got two extra because whatever had happened was always your fault!!
