[ANNE]

There is a thread similar to this in the archives the nostalgia section. We used to play ball games like Pounds, shillings and Pence. Kit Can. Queenio Cokeio.
Then there were Elastics, Stretch, Hop Scotch.
We would play with two balls on the wall, while uttering rhymes like this one.
Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, next door neighbour follow on.
Or Neberkanezer the king of the Jews bought his wife a pair of shoes, when the shoes began to wear, Neburconezzer began to swear.
When the swearing began to stop, Neburconezzer bought a shop. When the shop began to sell Nebuconezzer bought a bell. When the bell began to ring Nebuconezzer began to sing.
Clapping games.
Taking picnics of jam bread and pop to Bluebell wood ( In Preston )
Playing on the Park for hours on end.
Those were the Lazy hazy days of Summer.
