Eggity Budge From: (Les from Hull Date: 03 Feb 03 - 06:14 PM )was being played in Cardiff in late 50s early 60s, but known as "Bad Eggs"

Neighmond (3 Feb)Skipping rhyme No 'V' was recorded by Aaron Carter as "The Clapping Song", however, the numerous versions I find on the net do not seem to match my recall of it, and most have been cross-posted as they nearly all include the same typos (e,g 'Partner£s' for 'partner's'

One recently heard playground rhyme from my (15y.o.) daughter:
"Row Row Row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream
Aaaargh!"
