then i read about the controversial.
i mean, look at the junks kids are abosrbing everyday from tv. How much worse can Dame Slap be?

Who or what is Dame Slap? And do I want to know?

I remember enjoying the Sea of Adventure, with all those Puffins on the Island.

Dame Slap was the headmistress of a school that was extremely strict and she was very quick to deal out Corporal punishment to any misbehaving student (whether it was justified or not) (that's my memory of it anyway).

*slaps forehead*

I knew that! I have an illustrated copy of whichever Faraway Tree book she's in with her chasing the children (I think Jo is rubbing his behind, having just been walloped).

She's pretty scary....
