really no culture in the world quite like the British when it comes to
discipline and punishment, for strictness, ritual, rules, uniform, and of
course severe pain! With practical demonstrations, Val and j (perhaps with a
little help from their friends) will show how discipline and punishment has
been used in nearly every aspect of British society to elicit awe, fear, shame,
humiliation, and even honor and pride, often accompanied by searing pain and a
striped backside. Drawing on extensive personal experience of being on the
receiving end, they will show you how to reproduce these practices and rituals
to harness the deliciously stiff, uncompromising and strict qualities of
British discipline and punishment for your own ends and needs. Whether for a
raucous school caning role-play, the training of a traditional maid servant, or
the quite genuine punishment of an errant submissive… All this and more is
given the royal British treatment in this fun, informative and practice-based
workshop.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
