A few of us will remember these, it was part of school life back then (1950s) and it did hurt.
Sometimes we did deserve it, fair enough, but what I didn’t like was the teachers that gave you it just because they enjoyed giving you the cane. Not me sunshine, fight back, and that was one reason I got chucked out of Riley Road School (Tower Bridge Road), best thing that happened to me at that time.

School Punishment.
