Grim Up North

Described here as a "Gritty.... socially realistic" drama, Grim Up North portrays a very different era. However, I struggle to see as "realistic" a chirpy schoolboy telling how his Dad made him late for school by giving him a belting, then because he was late for school he'd had to stay back and get caned by the headmaster - to which the father's response is that he'll give him another belting for getting caned.  Surely this is pure comedy rather than realism?

Cadbury's Flake

Of course the famous (in the UK anyway) Cadbury's Flake advert with the girl on the back of a Romany vardo caravan was always perhaps a little less innocent than it appeared at first glance, but look how she's grown up now.

Didn't see that coming...

Favourite for September

I've picked a pair of images from two different photo sets with different girls. So, in what sense are they a pair? Sorry, you'll get the answer to that in October!

This captures the scolding of the girl and her being told that she's in for a damn good hiding.   She's probably protested that she's too old to be spanked but she can see from his face that he won't be persuaded.  Unconsciously she's clutching her bottom which she knows is soon going to be very hot and sore.

I really like the expression on his face in this shot.  I think we sometimes pay too little attention to the expression of the spanker but this shows how important it is.  He seems to be conveying surprise that she thinks she doesn't deserve this treatment but he's clearly implacable - the decision regarding her fate has been made.
