There was one girl in the year below who was a right wind-up, always skipping through our games. But SHE just ran into a smaller girl one day & got 3 or 4 good smacks on the leg from the playground supervisor(caretaker’s wife)for breaking the golden rule herself.

I don’t recall the or else ever came into play for us, which probably means someone and possibly even a few in that photo of Miss Clarke’s class in 1961 should have had a body swerve to match Garrincha,Bobby Charlton or Cliff Jones, thinking of notable examples of the same in the pro game in that year!
