'Daddy daddy please come back to me - aye-ee, aye-ee,' (pipes up the third child)

Sharkie Jul 2018 10:36pm, 9 Jul 2018 13,486 posts	0 Sharkie I can remember loads - I only ever played them at school because my home friends were all boys in our street and skipping and other rhyme games were almost exclusively girl stuff. Tuck y' dress in y' knickers for handstands against playground wall!
