During my years as a grammar school pupil, an all boys school for those with above average intelligence ( just the way it was, not being pretentious) caning was an accepted punishment, I was bent over countless times to get the whack, often ranging from 1 stroke to half a dozen dependant upon the misdemeanour, ( i was intelligent, but very naughty, a rebel, someone who din't and still doesn't give a flying fuck!).

It did me no harm, rather swift punishment than having to write out countless lines or take detention as punishment. thing is, the threat of the cane, did not alter the way I behaved. My life, my rules
