When is a beating not a beating?
A beating, he says as we drive round the corner by the National Gallery (which is promoting a nice line in bottle-top art this week) has to be several strokes. If you just get whacked once on the back with a baton, you can't call that a beating in copy.
He's probably right. But then, if I got whacked at all by a riot policeman (even if it was just once), I think I'd feel I'd been beaten.
