Drew Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Obviously ya dafty. Did you call them sweaters? Pull-overs (sounds like another cottaging term, to be honest....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Taking old style golf balls apart, unravelling the elastic winding inside, and getting into the gunge-filled core.

RickMcD Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 We called that Best Mans Fall. Geeza haun granade!!! We just called it Best Falls and it was great playing it in the Storrie Street baths falling off the diving boards. You had to be careful all the same.

zurich_allan Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 That's what we called it as well. Drew, you talk mince. Was always called 'Dead man's fall' round my way, and indeed had to be played from the top of a hill, rolling down as you perished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have any hills round Andrew Street, had to make do with off "bunkers" or the old wash houses. Only rich people had a hill to play on.
