Some decades ago, it was not unusual – at least in Britain – for workmen to threaten to spank women they didn’t know. Much of this was banter and whether any of these threats actually resulted in real spankings is unlikely. Here are two examples: one from the 1960s supplied to me by ‘Marty’ (a guy I’ve been corresponding with on the internet) and the other from the 1970s involving my own Mum. This is actually a follow-up to my earlier posting, ‘My Mum spanked by her friend?’ Marty writes: [One day] while my mother accompanied me to school (I was about 7 or 8) she accidentally walked in some wet concrete that a grumpy old man had just laid. She apologised to him but he said “Sorry isn't good enough, what you need is to have your bare bottom spanked!” I was shocked how he talked to my mother as if she was a child. She went very red and we hurried on. At school all morning I was worried that the man would abduct my mother as she returned home and carry out his threat...But I could not get the image of this man taking down my mother’s knickers and spanking her...The more I thought of it, the more I enjoyed it. After that, I hoped that we would see him again and my mother would again annoy him but this time he would actually do it. In reality we never saw him again but I began telling my friends stories about how this man smacked my mum’s bottom in the middle of the street! And from me: Back in the late 1970s, Dean’s parents employed a trio of workmen to build an extension on the house. I’ve no idea what their names were, so we’ll call them Tom, Dick and Harry! I never met them although my Mum did. She happened to visit Pam’s house while the work was being done. Actually, I think it was really Pam’s turn to come to us but she didn’t like leaving the builders unattended. Quite where I or my sister were, I don’t know – it was obviously the school holidays because Dean was present. Maybe we were at our Grandparents or our Dad had taken us out for the day. Anyway, while she was there, my Mum took a tray of drinks out to the builders (presumably for one of their many breaks!) and one of them, Harry, said, “Don’t spill any or I’ll spank your bare bottom!” Dean overheard this remark but, sadly, couldn’t remember what my Mum’s reaction was! Several days later (I assume) my Mum was again over at Pam’s and, it being another hot day, took Harry a cold drink. It sounds as if he was working by himself because Tom and Dick don’t appear to have been present. Dean was playing nearby in the garden. Anyway, Harry presumably said something rude to my Mum or made some sort of unwelcome advance. Dean, unfortunately, didn’t hear her reply. But, whatever she said, it didn’t go down too well because Harry suddenly retorted, “Speak to me like that again and you’ll be taken inside and spanked in your birthday suit!” And just in case she hadn’t got the message (at least according to Dean), he repeated the threat. “I’m not joking, Margaret! I mean it! You’ll be taken inside and spanked in your birthday suit!” Apparently, my Mum went very red, shrieked and ran off! I remember being very excited when Dean told me all this and, although I felt a bit sorry for my Mum, fantasized about her being over Harry’s knee, in the nude, for a good spanking!
