Made in Lochgelly. After the ban on hitting kids they diversified
into a more adult and consenting punishment market.

While at primary school I was belted a LOT by a belt-happy
headmaster, mostly for things that I was innocent of but he didn't
care. It instilled a deep suspicion of petty people in power.

1969 me and a pal got six of the bast for driving away from the
school
at 3pm.......

I got 6 for being in the toilets when a fight broke out outside the
toilet and migrated inside.
I got 6 on the other hand for denying that I was involved.

I was scheduled for a further six the following week for commenting
that
it was unfair to be belted when I did nothing. I was then asked if I
wanted belting every week until I admitted that I was involved so I
buckled and admitted that I was involved (even though I was not)
and was
scheduled for an extra 6 the following week for lying.
He said that either I was lying about being involved or lying about
not
being involved. Either was I was lying and deserved another six.

Nasty spiteful little tyrant of a man.

I got the strap in secondary school for pulling someone's hair out -
although I hadn't.

I and a friend did the normal pulling someone's hair on their birthday
(this was expected and the teacher used to read out birthdays when
taking the morning register). Someone else then yanked clumps out and
managed to lay the blame on myself and my friend - although the victim
was clear that we were not involved in the excessive hair pulling.

In Juniors, we had 100 homework questions every week, as part of
preparation for the 11-plus. If you scored less than the previous week,
you were whacked that many times, on the backside, with a table-tennis
bat (girls got a ruler to the hand).


That would motivate the Rambos of this world to upgrade their licence.

Maybe you're confusing me with Brian Reay ,whoever he is.The word is
he's a top guy .
