Found these cards,with no info' on them,so I can't say which area,town or city,they are from,but good examples of the day's when "playing out" meant using your imagination,and little else!(no x-boxes then!)

The sailing the boat in the puddle is priceless. Thanks
OK, someone should recognize the location of pic #3 - there can't be many walls at a sharp corner looking like that in Liverpool...:)
Great pictures the one with the gas works looks like it is Brum but it could be anywhere
Mossy
Simple pleasures exactly.
Off ground tick, british bulldogs, hopscotch, two ball, gutters (kerbies), allalio, skipping, hide n' seek, nearest the wall (with coins), bursting tar bubbles (especially 1976), s.p.o.t. & 60 seconds (football games) - (the older posters will remember a lot more that phased out before we were kids no doubt) A mixture of things to do for both girls and boys there.
Not only was it exercise but it was problem solving and face to face interaction and meeting new friends. How many only do this down a computer line these days.
i thought that aswell
the best pleasure was popping tar bubbles with a lolly ice stick on a hot summer day :)
I remember making "rafts" out of lolly ice sticks,to sail in any water we could find! It's a long time since I saw any girls skipping,with those "ropes" made out of plaited rubber bands,and singing those rhythmic songs, which they reckon, were the beginning of Rap music!!:shock:
Now that is a simple pleasure :)
Great Pics, but when I right click , the pic enlarges becoming frosty, is it the pic or my comp ?
