Mrs Soloman, a particularly fierce piano playing teacher from the 1980’s, now dead. Soloman’s pet hate was pupils having their back to her, so the whole class were seated facing towards her in a ‘Praise Mecca’ style in twos. If you turned her back on her whilst she was talking to you, woe betide. We adapted this to a playground game, which made good for random beatings. If a kid such as Daniel Holmer Tolliday showed you his back, you were well within your right to belt him in the back whilst taking on Soloman’s manly growl and saying ’ you darest showeth me your hind?‘Why we adopted a Medieval vocabulary is another question.
