Memories: A League table for beltings

 

When Michael Brown was at school the boys kept a league table of their tawsings. You got a point for every stroke. The degree of pain you suffered depended on who was inflicting the punishment. A robust 6 ft geography teacher was deemed to wield the heaviest hand in the school, he wrote in 1977.

As published in the Cambridge Evening News, 9 July 1977.
