Another member of the MK crew, well he's not actually, as he lives in Devon at the moment, is my dad. He is wonderful at Hallowe'en as he can scare us all with tales of when he was at School. He was at school in the days when corporal punishment was mandatory and sweet rationing had just been abolished - well that's how things balanced out, it's the old yin and yang of life*
Anyhow, he visited on the weekend and we were talking over dinner (we did the whole Sunday lunch thing, which was nice). As normal we got around to talking about current affairs and after warning my mum about the dangers of believing anything written in the Daily Mail, we moved onto the whole 'veil' issue, and the suspension of a teaching assistant for wearing one at work. It wasn't a particularly serious conversation as it ended when my dad piped up...
'Lucky she didn't go to my old school, our headmaster once caned a lad for wearing a flat cap.'
I'll reveal more of these stories as we go on, as they have been a source of entertainment for years
