“I did occasionally get caned, yes, your honour. My mates were caned, yes. I remember this time George got caned. George Harrison, cos we were mates at school, and I mean we never really did anything wrong but we might have like tight trousers and ted hairdos, so that pointed you out as somebody who is a trouble-maker. So George got done once and the teacher missed him, and got him here [wrist] so he had a couple of big wheels here, you know, those rash things. And he went home and was having his tea with his dad and they were all chatting about how it went at school. And his dad said ‘whats that?’ and George said, you know ‘teacher did it’. So the next day they were in class and somebody poked their head round the door, ‘urrm, mr’ whoever the teacher was who caned George, ‘come out for a moment please’. And he came out and it was George’s dad there. And he said ‘did you do that to my son?’ and he goes ‘yes I did’ and he goes ‘well’ WHACK! [makes punching movement]” (laughter) “Oh! Right there. Oh, he was a hero. He was just the school hero then, Georges dad. I used to tell my dad, you know, ‘I got caned dad’ and he said ‘well you probably did something wrong.’ Dad –hit him!”

George’s parents were seriously the coolest.

DAYUM. Harold Harrison was a total BAMF.
This reminds me of how George told a policeman to ‘fuck off’ this one time Dhani got into trouble. Those Harrison men, sticking it to the man and protecting their boys. <3
