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. 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 Can you imagine that happening now? Someone pointing a gun at your kids??

We used to play in some fields near the local cricket ground, where one time there was a tractor parked up (one of those old-fashioned Massey Ferguson types), and in one of the storage boxes either side of the seat, we found two sticks of dynamite. We spent ages throwing rocks at them to make them go 'bang!':eek:, before one of us decided it would be a better idea to take our find to the local police station.

Loving all the talk about the games you used to play as children:T

Anyone wanting another wander down memory lane should seek out folklorist Steve Roud's book 'The Lore of the Playground'. Packed full of children's games, skipping rhymes, counting-out rituals (One Potato Two Potato, Ip Dip) and time-out terms (Barley, Pax, Fainights):)

Totally agree but newbies might not understand it It takes perseverance. I tried logging on several time before I undertstood what was the gist of the thread but it has saved the family a lot :T:T:T

I couldn't agree more.
I've had friends who want to know how to do what I do but give up when they realise its not something they can just instantly master.
It took me about 6 months before I was confident enough to start doing targeted shops without the use of a pen, paper and 3 hours worth of research

Welcome back David hope you had a great time. OH went out fishing earlier, what a cracking day for it as well.

I'm currently trying to convince DS2 that he wants to go to Ts with me I haven't been shopping since Wednesday and desperately need some stuff. I should be able to talk him round by closing time :cool:

Thanks was carp with us and I don't think the owner would have been too pleased if we had gutted and froze them :rotfl:
