The milkman, usually fairly quiet as he creeps up to the front door to deliver our daily pint, woke me this morning with a great clinking of bottles. Still half asleep, I began to ponder an alternative early morning round, this time by the local punishment officer.

Legally-appointed, said official’s “morning round” would take in each village or district once a week. Parents in the relevant area would leave a note outside their door before retiring the previous night, requesting the officer to stop by: “Six strokes, eldest daughter”, for example. The young lady’s punishment would presumably be amplified by the thought that late night passers-by might pause, curious, and read the note.

The girl would be expected to be up and waiting from, say, 6am - showered and in her uniform ready for the school day. The precise time of the disciplinarian’s arrival determined by the number of other calls he’d had to make on the given morning. Punishment would be swift and firm, administered on the bare with a government-issue cane.

Anyone interested in providing such a service in our local area should apply to… No, hold on: sounds far too hot a scene to let anyone else play in my place. “Eight strokes, wife”. Haron won’t be sitting comfortably after I’ve left for work tomorrow morning…
