Don't know how long we can get this game to go on to, but have a go anyway.In alphabetical order name an item you would see around in the 1950's ( it doesn't matter if you would also have seen it in the 1920's, ie, a tin bath, but don't include things from later decades ie, miniskirts.)

Oh, yes, greyduster! Isn't it strange how the rhymes and games get all over the country even though there wasn't the internet?

I think it went something like "PK penny a packet, first you chew it, then you crack it, then you stick it on your jacket, PK, penny a packet!" hmm

Duplicated ? Perhaps. The Thread is too long to go back through when you have an idea.
