Smithy, I thought they banned corporal punishment in 1989? Reason I thought that is that is the year I started High School and everyone was saying, 'Oh, now you'll never get caned!' or somesuch nonsense.
Not that I ever had reason to get the strap (saw it bought out *once* at my primary school for two boys to get it) nor the cane! I was a good girl. [angel]
Hi Simone,
Just looked it up, it was banned during 1990 (my last year) which explains why I can still remember getting caned that year by my Latin teacher for saying, "get a move on Baldy"!
I wasn't particularly bad, I just had moments of high spiritedness
