The first time I really took an interest in the delights of CP was at primary school when I was about nine or ten when the teacher asked one of the girls in front of the class if she had told her parents that Headmaster Mr Dene had smacked her yesterday.
I was aware of boys having been smacked and it wasnt uncommon to see teachers grabbing boys and giving them a few slaps across the backside in the dinner queue etc. but this was the first time I felt any real fascination about the subject.
