A Chinese Burn in my youth was getting both hands round someone's wrist and twisting it both ways to stretch their skin, making it feel like heat. I think..

Thats what I remember.

Panic over; it was on the bench outside.

Stand down.

Apartment mopped.

Floor damp and slippery.

In other news, I cleaned out the utility cupboard.

Whip and top Usually around pancake day .Snobs Think in some parts it’s called Five Stones.

We called whip and top peeries and there were also girds. The cool kids just guided them with a stick. Peevers was another thing but mainly for girls and in winter as Mo said slides. Most of us in those days had tacketty boots which were excellent for ice slides Skipping ropes were only used by girls but the degree of skill was amazing. In secondary school there were walnut trees to be raided but the covering on the nuts turned your fingers brown which looked like cigarette staining.
Don't remember anything like Five Stones but all sorts of memories beginning to flood back.
We also made "bombs" using two bolts and one nut with match heads between the bolt ends.

Cheese & onion is my fave, but my current stash was all bought on YS (damaged packaging) ergo I'm not going to be fussy.

Oh no no Nooo! Cheese & Onion crisps are the food of Beelzebub. If he can't get those, he'll make do with Smokey Bacon.. Nasty things, they are!

Save swinging the axe.

That's a fair bit of 'home made' & would need a fair bit of feeding.

Actually, salt & vinegar is the work of Beezlebub. That's just minging.

Smoky bacon crisps make such a fabby crisp sandwich. Wholemeal bread, LOTS of butter...
