I used to hate it when we went to a birthday party and they played postmans knock; what a lot I had to learn.

We did "one potato, two potato" as well and "Dip dip dip my little ship sails on the water like a cup and saucer you are on it"

Oh this does bring back good memories!  :)

I remember playing skittles and throwing the little tea cards to see how far you could throw them.  ;D Never was much good at them.   ;D

Sliding this topic sideways just a little...there was a rhyme, about 1960 I guess. Skipping rhyme or something of that kind?
Someone lost something...what?

It contained some of the popular TV characters of the time. I can remember only scraps. "Billy Bunter was too large so they sent for I'm in Charge." and there was Robin Hood, Ivanhoe and Laramie (MY Favourite, shows my age, doesn't it?)

Can anyone remember all of it? It drives me mad, not remembering.

...and my favourite street game was Tin Can Tommie.

 Wow!   :o  A sideways step from your sideways step - I've never met anyone outside our family who remembers Laramie (Western TV series) !
