At my grammar school in the late 40s early 50’s a caning was always referred to as ‘the swish’. I believe it’s an old term for a birching but I can’t imagine there was ever a time when the birch was in use at The Royal Liberty, Gidea Park! If anyone knows differently I’d be interested to hear from them.
