Boasting to your mates that you'd had outside top with the smart bird down the street.
Then boasting to your mates you'd had a belly rub with the ugly bird down the street.

Anyone else play ‘stretch’? Two of you facing each other with your legs together, taking it in turns to throw a knife either side (we all carried knives in the 60s) and you had to stretch your leg out to where your opponent’s knife had dug in, winner was the one who didn’t split his difference. The opposite to ‘stretch’ was chicken where you played the game in reverse
Ah, those old Wembley Trophy footballs!
As you said, they would invariably get a puncture after a while; like yourself, I also tried unsuccessfully to repair the hole with a hot knife :hehe:. They were good though, they had the right feel & weight about them.

Having an argument.
Back in the day it could go on for weeks as there was no easy way of proving who was right. Now Mr Google can sort it within seconds :frown:

Flats, bedsits & living in rooms. Now for some reason they’re apartments, studios and house share.

It's virtually eradicated in UK. A foreigner applying for a UK Residence visa has to go to a British Foreign Office designated Clinic in there home country and get a certificate to prove they do not have any trace of it. Without the certificate they won't get a visa.
Then of course all the so-called asylum seekers and illegal boat people come in without the checks and make the whole procedure pointless
