Me and DD were talking about games when I was a kid not so long ago. We walked past a chalked 'hopscotch' on the pavement. I said 'oh beds, haven't seen that in years'
she said 'what's beds?' so I explained that hopscotch was called beds when I was a child and we played with a peever which ideally was an empty kiwi shoe polish tin filled with dirt
:rotfl::rotfl:
......although I did once play with an Old Holburn tobacco tin in desperation :eek: :rotfl: failing that, as flat a stone as you could find

Me: oh er um frantically trying to explain what burn means in this context, what with his current obsession with fires on planes etc :eek:0
