Ok, not in the same ballpark as the knout but reminded me of what we schoolboys in the UK educated by the Jesuits had to go through growing up in the 1960s and 1970s - the ferula (whale bone covered in leather) which was the weapon of choice and was used across our hands (up to five strokes on each) sometimes drawing blood although it's true that the stroke should not be made from an angle greater than 90% . . . for worse offences the ferula was used on the backside and was called a Bumming.Does he mention the Knout? A particularly brutal form of punishment. They used whips of specially hardened rawhide and.... you can all research the rest, I don’t want to put anyone off their dinner.
I am admittedly a bit drunk but I’ve gotta say Russ’s tasty Kake is some good tobacco!Oh yeah home at last
