I often had to bend over the teachers desk in front of the class, I was told the cane. Not that sure if it was the cane but it was extremely painful. So be careful if you are mature content and going on honeymoon.

There's a doctor/prostate examination joke just waiting to come out of that one.

We had Mr Penman for Latin, he used to hate long hair and he used to walk past you then from behind used to twizzle the long hair around his finger until his knuckle was in contact with your skull and then keep going. After 10 minutes of so your head had an egg on it the size of a large birds egg. Mmm I wonder if there's money in that, I also got the strap for playing marbles in the classroom at primary school.

Mr Hayter the head dished out extra punishments with the well worn sole of a size 12 plimsoll. Mr Nixon the French teacher kicked me up the rear in assembly for talking. I was taken to the docs after school due to his pointed shoes causing a cut. These days I would have had £thousands in compo but then the school said I should behave.

At secondary school, our chemistry teacher was a complete nutter and didn't think he'd caned you with enough vigour unless the tip of the cane hit the overhead lights in the chem lab. The female french teacher hit you with a wood ruler (edge on) across the knuckles if you made a bad mistake. Needless to say I dropped both subjects after second year..

We had a teacher at Junior school who'd do the ear twist but also did what he called the clappers where he'd put his hands on shoulders and lift his hands and slap both cheeks.

At senior school we had a diminutive speech training teech. Who'd threaten to spilt us from the skull to the chaps, then with extra menace, and perfectly enunciated, would add; "and the chaps is a long way down."

And you tell the kids of today and they don't believe you!

In the UK the Brownies are (were?) the under 11 group that preceded the Girl Guides. I suspect you might mean the brown cake-like thing.

Or do you???

At my secondary school the PE teacher had a punishment pump (a kind of plimsoll). When dishing out the punishment he would offer it with or without anaesthetic. With anaesthetic involved an extra swift strike at the buttocks which would numb the area to the following strikes.

He was tough teacher and left our school to become the UK national boxing coach for the Mexico Olympics. I found a quote from him after a brief search today "In the old routine you met on the plane and if the boy was five pounds overweight you sawed a leg off. Under Len, we learnt that the old sweats who were coaching were the salt of the earth but their methods were archaic. You need more than a bent nose, scar tissue and a towel to be a trainer."

Most of our teachers were ex army or nutters. The former had injuries that rendered them useless for punishment (virtually stone deaf so never got to hear the classrom disruption, or had one arm/half a lung etc), the others were the ones to watch out for. As Topper mentioned, hair tweaking was probably the worst I had, since I got away with a lot that would have meant the cane or slipper.

Saturday detention was a sod though, cleaning down desks and picking chewing gum out of parquet flooring.

I was 12, some of the under 11 girls were hot when I was that age.

All we had to do was smack them in the head with our clubs and drag them back to the cave............................................Sorry ...............My fault
