    Going into the 'reservoir' (flood area for Gatwick airport) & trying to sail in cardboard boats :o
    Laying your socks out to dry so your Mum wouldn't know you had got wet again :o

    Playing Spies & writing clues on rice paper & eating them ;)

    I tell you it's scary the stuff we did for amusement :eek: OH and I were reminiscing recently about a salt quarry near us when we were kids. Obviously it was a draw for local kids because it was locked up and we shouldn't have been there.......so where else would we go? :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    There was a woman who lived by it used to come out and point a double barrelled shotgun at kids who went in the quarry :eek::eek: Can you imagine that happening now? Someone pointing a gun at your kids?? :eek: She was called Fanny as well, just to make it even funnier :D:o :rotfl:

    Good Morning all,

    When I was a child a couple of years ago :p there was this old woman who served in a shop. She would always be sitting there with a scowl on her face as though she did n t want anyone especially kids buying things from her shop. She was rather frightening to say the least :)

    :)

    This was our church in the village I lived in (Lowfield Heath) before Gatwick Airport bought up the whole area & made everyone move away :(

    The church was the only building left & we attended Sunday School there.
    I always remembered the story about the dog carved on the outside as it was run over & immortalized for ever on the church :A
