Not yet I haven't been, but I've got home first today and found a long think package addressed to my dad. When I picked it up it was very light and rattled. When I saw the cello tape at the end was loose, I had to have a look. My parents have only went and bought a cane!!! OMG!!! 😰
This is an old post I realise and you have probably by now discovered whether or not that cane was acquired for use on you, or for some other purpose. What I will say is that I attended a private boys only school in Australia and the cane was regularly used for misbehaviour. The cane in your photos is very similar to the cane my housemaster used and I can tell you, it hurts like hell! It is nearly 50 years since I was last caned at school and I can still remember the bite and fiery sting of each stroke and the lasting bruises and tenderness afterwards.
