You can still get them, should you feel the need…ever! My favourite teacher had a very embarassing (for him) incident, board duster straight through the window!..Don’t know how he explained that to the headmaster!..logarithms did help (just using the ruler) working out the P.A.Y.E. tax tables…remember wage packets, with real money in them!
I used to get the board duster, not because I was particularly naughty, but you guessed it! I was always natterering away! Haven’t changed. Why change a habit of a lifetime! Oh it’s crazy looking back at live!
