Talk:Tawse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Photo Added

I noticed this article does not have a photo so I asked my friend if I could photograph his fine speciman of a tawse and added it to the Commons as public domain. Kit 07:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Please remember, when editing the article, that it needs to be encyclopeidc in tone, neutral in point of view, and sourced and verifiable where possible. Salivating description of 'terrifying thrashings' might be fine on a S&M website, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

I repeat this comment. Just because material is on another website, doesn't mean it should be here. The Land 09:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I support the cuts you have recently made to this article. Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 09:40, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I never heard it called a 'tawse" till late in my life; during my childhood it was " the belt" or "the scud" to pupils, and just "the belt" to teachers.

So how universal was the word "tawse"?

Certainly it was not so in central Scotland during the 1960's, and I speak as one with considerable experience of its use (from the receiving end).  :D
