don't agree with it.
Didn't bother me in the slightest. The fear was far worse than the actual caning!

Didn't they stop caning about 50 years ago? I'm 37 and I know it was banned long before I went to school.
I'm 44 and there was talk of it while I was at school. We laughed, said we'd be uncontrollable without it.

Have to say us kids were quite astute hehe
