we used to get cotton thread it though all the letter boxes cos they had the knocker on it too the cotton used to zigzag across the road - when a car drove down the road all the cotton pulled and snapped knocking all the doors.
we used to tie all our tights together to make a loop and playing i'm sure it was french skipping two people had the loop stretched out and a third did tricks and twists and jumps in the middle then it moved to calves then to knees and then to thighs and bums etc. god i was fitter then (pass the ciggies)
