Having the stick/dap in school

Not sure how old you are, but did you have a Mr Kavanagh in Llanrumney High?

I remember Mr Kavanagh. He was the first to cane me in Llanrumey High or Ball Road as we called it. The twat.

A few have mentioned the rap on the knuckles with a ruler. This was a trademark of, what seemed like at the time, an elderly woman teacher, Miss Williams, in St Alban’s juniors. Not the flat of the ruler, the edge, she’d tell you to put your hand flat on the desk and bring it down hard, leaving a line on your knuckles for the rest of the day. Unbelievable behaviour really for an aged spinster, dear God she had a temper.

I was never in one of their classes but you’re right they were fearsome. I knew you’d remember Miss Williams, they were old weren’t they? Or did they just seem it to us? All spinsters as well, no man could have dealt with them I s’pose.
