I went to school just round the corner from the Pendelfin factory. You know the ones, cutesy little painted rabbits in dungarees etc?
Well they were made from a chalk mix. We used to go round to the factory, beg a couple off them and chalk our hopscotch squares out with them.
God if I had got them now they would be worth a ruddy fortune.
Also used to pinch one of my mothers stockings, pop a tennis ball in the toe and tie the other end round your ankle to skip over it.
Big groups of us playing ' the big ships sailing in the alley alley oh'
Going down the woodsand picking bluebells then went round door knocking and flog them a penny (Pre decimal) a bunch.
