yes, get it all nice and shiny and slippy david and someone would come out and put salt on it...lol

i remember that...lol

tut tut David ~ did they risk assess it ~ pmsl

pmsl stella so they did but wasnt that great all the kids in the street joined in can remember my butt having loads of bruises ... great fun ...... also we got three large pools by us the middle one really long wide a deep ........ use to walk and slide from one end to the other ice had crack a few times to god we were so lucky ,,, no way would i let my kids near them .....

simple things made us happy in those days joan...lol

they sure did i use to try and catch fish with a long stick and a hook on string ... stella i was round those pools paddling from the age of eight use to be gone all day playing out ..... we never seemed bother about going home to eat till dark ..........

the rope swings were the best got a big tree over the cracker which was a big hole full of nettles .. three of us taxying on it , snapped and covered in nettle stings ..

We'd go down to a shady nook
And use a bent pin for a hook
We'd fish all day
We'd fish all night
But the dogone fish refused to bite
Then we'd Slide and slide
Down some old cellar door
Slide and slide
Til our pants got tore
Then we'd have to go home
And stay in our beds
While mother got busy
With the needle and thread
O boy
What joy
We had in those bare foot days

oops, am I wandering
