Scragged
“Scragged” by Mr. Allan (Jacko) Jackson.
In the late 1950s or early 1960s I remember an Apprentice being “scragged” by two other Apprentices. He was wrapped up in tape up to his neck and then pushed into view on a gangway where he was seen by the Foreman and sent home for three days (with loss of pay), as a punishment. His two assailants went to the Foreman and confessed, getting the lad’s punishment rescinded. The two escaped punishment themselves, and were simply told to “go away”!
