Re: School items

Just asked my Accrington man if he was ever punished at school. 'Too right' he said. Apparently (according to him that is) he and another student got the cane every day at Springhill school. On the fingertips.

I said they must have been slow learners not to have woken up to the fact that this is what they would get if they misbehaved, but he said the headmaster (Mr. Spencer) seemed to have it in for them. This was to the point that instead of encouraging them he told them that if they passed the exam to go to Accrington Tech it would be 'nothing short of a miracle'. They both did!
