I was interested in the account of the boy who benefitted from a caning, not I suspect, in the way the headmaster intended. The experience I had at boarding school, which made me realise for the first time that I had an “unusual” interest in CP, was similar in some ways.
It was the early morning on last day of my first year at the school (I was just 12 at the time) and all the boys in the dormitory were excited by the prospect of 8 weeks’ holiday. There was alot of horse-play and someone balanced a waste bin containing water above the dormitory door.
