Did you ever play a game called 'Touring Europe'?
Pastimes , Whip and Top making patterns on the top with coloured chalks. Skipping, Jacks, Hide and Seek, Kick stone, Tig your it, To offset the technology in our lives I buy my Grandson olds fashioned games, Ludo ,Snakes and Ladders, Pick a Sticks, Dominoes, Quoits etc. Then hopefully he will remember playing games with Nanna instead of just playing on his tablet.
No sorry never heard of it.??Did you ever play a game called 'Touring Europe'?
What, and left you inside ???Bread was delivered daily by a man in a little cubic van with double doors at the back. The whole thing was pulled by a horse. My brother was employed as "The Boy" on this van and sometimes he got permission for me to go for a ride. The smell of bread and horse seemed to be very natural and secure.
Looking back I wonder how I took it as so natural to ride around so close to a horse's **** but don't worry, my brother grew out of it.
Were your family rich?Red letter day when my pocket money went up from 2/- to 'arf a crown.
....loving this thread!
Being told to 'go out and play' after breakfast, we got up to all sorts, no supervision and we always got home safely
Pocket money once a week, never saved mine up, spent it the day I got it, usually sherbet dips, toffee arrow bars, liquorice pipes and giant humbugs
What about when pubs closed for a few hours during the afternoon?The National Anthem being played at the end of the cinema film, when TV closed for the night, at pub throwing out time, at the end of other social occasions, when everyone stood up straight and sang.
The old 9" Bush TV sets, and if you were posh you had one in a cabinet, probably bought in 1953 for the Queen's coronation. Oh yes, and the coronation mugs given to every school child. I broke mine on the way home - walking with friends of course, no school runs in those days.
Another new avatar.What about when pubs closed for a few hours during the afternoon?
Good old days? I think not!
But maybe.
Shops closed on Sundays too.

Winter sundays were pretty boring, especially if it rained. You had to read quietly after dinner when the adults were snoozing in their chairs. No point going to your bedroom, it was freezing and nowt but a bed in there anyway. Was glad to go to Sunday school in the afternoon for a break from the monotony.I'd love we went back t Sunday closing.
The world of consumerism stopping for one day a week has to be good for the soul and I don't mean in any religious way.
Peace quiet time with the kids and if you forgot to buy that new saw ... tough!
Wow ... to stop consuming the planet once a week and people are scared by the very thought of it!
Half day closing Wednesday was a bit of a bind ...

Would be good to have a day of rest again though.
A yes, Brownies. I was a fairy.Brownies was great. I was a gnome. At the start of the session, we danced around a toadstool and put our 2 pence (old money) subs on the floor around it. I never made it to be a 'Sixer' but I was a 'Seconder' - story of my life! I remember doing 'Laying a Table' badge, which was useful.
