Bloody hell Diana, I agree with you. But when my Grandpa came back from WWI....he put on his flat cap and went t' Gas Board, and kept it on even on the beach at Margate.

I stood and watched children in the playground of an infants' school one lunchtime recently, regrettably known as "dinnertime" in schools, and they all seemed to be playing games, each group doing something different. I suspect this has always been going on.
