In the UK you were slippered, strapped or caned.

@abuck Do you mean slippered ? My teacher used to put me over his knee, he then spanked my bottom and sent me home with a letter which always meant another spanking over Dad's knee when he got home from work !!

@abuck as were many of us back in the day

@jackcros You were a particularly naughty boy , Jack ! We have exchanged spanking experiences many times ! I was a naughty boy too going off the number of spanked bottoms Dad gave me over his knee !!

@abuck It was very common in those days. Classroom slipperings were daily events, there weren't many lessons where none of us got the slipper. The cane was in frequent use too.

@Sharon I can remember getting the slipper at school many times over the headmaster's knee !!

@smacked30D I got it in class bent over a desk. I got the cane bent over a desk in the headmaster's or deputy headmistress's office. Only got spanked OTK in infants' and first years junior school. I sometimes got spanked OTK when older in different situations.

@abuck Lots of us were. I doubt many of our generation completely escaped the slipper or cane.

@NortiusMaximus when I started grammar school it didn’t take long for most of us to have received a whacking. Some boys who were generally well behaved, feeling left out having not been whacked, deliberately misbehaved in order to “join the club” with the majority of us.
