It's been banned in Britain for many years but getting the slipper or (worse) the cane was a part of school when I was there. Wondered just how many people got it or still get it at school?

Yes, it was still in use during my school days. I didn't get the cane but I had the slipper numerous times for persistently refusing to participate in PE/games.
@Sharon It was usually the same few lads who got it when I was in school. I was often the first of the crowd to get it because the teacher used to call us into his office alphabetically by surname and I was close to the beginning. Lol :)
@NankerPhelge We got slippered wherever we happened to be. The main exception was being sent to the changing room for it - there we got it on the bare.
There was a sort of hard core who got it more than most. I was one of those but, in PE, not one of us escaped it completely.
@Sharon We never got it on the bare in school, always over the seat of our trousers. We never got more than six at a single time either, so it was nothing compared with the spankings I got at home (a couple of dozen with my dad's leather slipper on the bare). That was the main reason why I used to say the school spankings didn't hurt - not so much to try to appear tougher than I really was, but because it was mild compared with my dad's spankings. Lol ;)
@NankerPhelge Most school slipperings were just 2 or 3 through my knickers. Only the PE mistress routinely gave 6 and sometimes on the bare. Like you, at home I always got it on the bare, usually at least a dozen with a couple of dozen being quite common.
