Being that I am fifty two years old, my school years fell well within the days of school corporal punishment. I stumbled upon this site recently (being quite new to the world wide web) and wondered what people’s personal memories are with British school CP.
My very humble and not exactly pornographic memory is of being kept behind after school when I was about 13/14, and getting a few whacks of the slipper across the seat of my school keks from my English teacher. This was for a disturbance during the lesson.(I was at a mixed high school in Manchester by the way)
