Do you remember making daisy chains or blowing the ginny joes (dont you dare say anything dirty)  Remember Ginny Joe, Ginny Joe bring me back a golden egg.  Then holding the butter cups under your chin and if it reflected it proved you liked butter....

What about the slingshots you used make from a bit of four by two, a load of elastic bands and clothes pegs. Remember you'd attach the elastic band to the metal hinge in the clothes peg which you'd earlier removed.

This was then inserted into another peg which was secured to one end of your bit of wood and the elastic stretched over the other end.

To fire , you just pressed on the peg and the tension on the elastic did the rest. You knew all about it if one hit ya.

We used to tap the phone in St. Annes.  Gosh when I think we used to hang around that phone and the auld fellas would piss in it at night... yuck... 

Do you remember drawing with chalk on the footpath... ahhhh

We used to love when it would get foggy out - probably smog really now that we know better... all so exciting back then.
