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
Must admit that's a new one on me Not hopscotch obviously :rotfl: but I've never heard it called that before. ...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

What was that game that involved lots of rubber bands knotted together? You used to have to land on a big string of linked up rubber bands.......I think
I was thinking about the double Dutch skipping rope game when I got a vague memory of that.
The knocking on doors and running away was called 'chap door run' where I was0 -
