Even in those days, there were a few inner-city schools where the on-duty Master or Masters due to supervise dinner-time or its’ aftermath always carried a cane(London) or strap(Manchester & some parts of Liverpool)for the dispensation of instant justice. Whether they had Raiders Of The Loo Ark, I can’t be sure, but at MGS rooting out the smokers therein was left to praefects, always assuming of course that the praefects didn’t get there first for a Woodie!
I’d long thought CP at school had virtually died out by 1980, but the longer I’ve been on the forum, the clearer it’s become that it in fact returned to, or even exceeded, 1950’s levels up to 1977-78. This was mainly for boys, girls generally starting to fall out of the loop, but not entirely.
