I have been known to be complimentary to Mancie, but then, he has shown us his nice (sober) side often.
Maybe this Zac person has a nice side too.....

He hasn't got red karma yet, so it looks like he may well survive this 1st scrap

Re: The Games we played
back on thread...hopscotch, whip and top(and you were really poor if you couldn't afford a few chalks with which to decorate your spinning top).......five stones.....also known as jacks........you could buy this game for about 6d......but you could play it with a small rubber ball and five little pebbles( picked off someones newly pebble dashed house )...Knock and run......oh the list is endless.
We only went home if it went dark or we were hungry....and we played out in all weathers........I don't ever remember catching cold.
We were active....and most of us were skinny.

Yes Margaret, all of those but the one I remember most is "Tinny" at the corner of Washington Street and Plantation Street - tinny was the street light on the corner going up Plantation Street - Chris and Barbara Firth, Ken Entwhistle, can't remember the names of the other 5 or 6 that were out there almost every night - Happy Days
