Beer was one shilling a pint in the NAAFI, so went onto scrumpy instead, only a tanner a pint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hymer C 9. Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Tar used to bubble up in the road and we used to burst it with a stick, then get into trouble for getting it on our white ankle socks. When the local river froze so hard you could walk accross it for weeks. We used to sit and make daisey chains Put butter cups under our chins to see if we liked butter. Played hopscotch and skipping in the street. Carol. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
