I went to a strict UK grammar school during the 1960s. Corporal punishment was rife and all teachers could use it. My most memorable caning occurred in the fifth year. Just before Christmas, my friend and I decided to play a game whereby we would take it in turns to wolf whistle at lady teachers.
This would continue until one of us got caught and the agreement was that the other one had won. We also agreed that the one caught accepted the blame for all the whistling.
