Now Cavan, what about tying a rope to a lamp post and swinging around it.And bowling an old bike wheel down the street or playing tick.We used to do all that.Its no wonder that a lot of kids today are obese, they are in front of the telly or playing elctronic games.

I remember my Nan giving me a clip around the ear for using one of her stockings to put a tennis ball in the foot and swing it against the wall in some sort of game, or tying it to one leg and skipping with the other one..

HI Margie I remember Mrs Marsh, she used to cut the cheese and corned beef with a big knife, and always always took a bit and ate it as she served you, imagine anyone doing that these days with all the hygiene laws :0. Her little snood hair net was cute though:)

Hi Cavan,
I spend about 45 mins a day on the computer, its the cheapest way of reading a british newspaper and keeping in touch here in France. When I am not doing that I cut the the grass in the garden and the orchard, then cut the grass at my sons place then the same at my daughters or I might go for a 3 or 4 mile walk or the same distance on my bike. If I get fed up with that I might cut a few logs for the stove, and the rest of the day I just laze about and have the odd glass of wine. I am now pushing 81 so all that running about back eckie and lowther st and down the back jiggers must have done me some good.

Does anyone remember the mission at the end of Fox Street? Was it Brougham Mission? We all went there when we were kids

No, I'm almost sure it was Brougham Mission, but I'm unsure of the spelling.

Your right Dave, Brougham mission, on the same side as the Pero's , behind Maggie Lee's as it was next to a bombed field opposite the "big hill".
