Yesterday we ended up in our favourite second-hand bookshop, and completely cleared it out of anything even vaguely related to any facet of our kink. One of our precious finds was a book by A. Davidson “Blazers, Badges and Boaters: a Pictorial History of School Uniform”.

It does have many fine pictures, which will be very helpful in assembling uniforms for my future imaginary schools. It also has the following amusing passage in the chapter on distinctions in uniform:

The prefect’s most terrifying insignia of authority, albeit on the periphery of school uniform, is the cane. Its swishing sound is enough to set many a junior’s teeth on edge, even if it is not applied to his back seat.

The cane, when it is applied, proves a far harsher instrument of punishment in the hands of an eighteen year old boy than in those of a doddering old schoolmaster. However, sadism and sexual thrills have been known to motivate both. If canes were not available, walking sticks would do, and prefects at Haileybury College were wont to put the latter to full use.

I think, my own doddering old schoolmaster will be quick to dispute the fact that any eighteen-year-old could give a more painful caning than him.

It would make an awfully amusing competition, actually. Trust me, I would not bet on the youngster.

Edit: Well, of course, this is a post by Haron, not Abel. That’ll teach me to steal his computer…
