2 belts from Dundee's school days in the sixties that may make you cringe!The TEACHER'S used the leather strap as punishment. A wallop on the hands for being a menace in class usually.
The PUPIL'S used the elasticated Snake belt to keep the troosers up. The belt would usually slip up around your belly dragging your shirt out with it!
MR MALCOM AT THE GLEEBIE, KNEW HOW TO USE THIS.I SHOULD KNOW.
ReplyDeleteWilly would that be the same Mr Malcolm who used to hit you on the head with his whistle if you spoke in line. I'm sure there are some pictures of him on friends reunited.
ReplyDeleteTeachers were total bastards in those days, now it's all pc so they wouldn't get away with the abuse we had to suffer if we didn't toe the line.
ReplyDeleteit never did us any harm, and if u went home and told your mum and dad you got the strap they would say you will get one from us if u dont behave,nobody has any respect for any one now.
ReplyDelete2 memories of the belt from 2 different schools
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow mid craigie a teacher called miss lowry she was disabled and was probably pissed off at the whole world but the only people she could punish were kids she belted everyone but it didn't hurt.
Whitfield high school mr lusby he dished out what he called nippy sweeties, now he knew how to use the belt fuuuck, but he was a good teacher and to be honest I deserved it
