He ended up being one of my fav teachers though

Coprpral punishment was banished in the late 70s in Escossia

I still remember getting the belt by a teacher so hard it made the bit between my thumb and fingers bleed

Thank christ I missed it.. I'm not so sure I could have let a teacher hit me.. not in high school anyway! Bloody hell, you're an adult at high school near enough. I just can't see an 18 year old me standing letting a teacher hit my hand till it bled! bugger that!

My story was not at High School - I was 8 at the time a teacher gave me 3 straps of the belt for climbing over a wall - and it was my turn to climb as our football had gone over

it's in the past, but no wonder Scotland are sh1t at football when primary school treachers would use a special belt on kids for playing football

Maybe that's the secret of Fegie's success
