Fish and chip van that used to visit all the villages when I was a kid.
Fish and chips in newspaper.
Our fish and chip van visits every Monday. Wish it was Friday as Mrs Hog likes fish then.
Nonetheless it’s damn good, perhaps too good Post Christmas  :D HH
Keep digging

Have a happy hogmanay and "Lang may yer lum reek".

They get drawn along the terrace footpath, here, and with little footfall they last a long while  ;)

Good morning everybody,  following on from Mum's contibution on street games, how about "The Diabalo"!

Also the whip and top.  Whilst in North Kelantan staying with the Temour tribe, their kids were experts at whip and tops.  These were carved out by their parents and they were about six inches tall, and boy did they shift!  You had to watch your ankles shooting across the dusty centre of the kampong. :D

Cheers,  Tony.
