Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
we used to have our knicker elastic over the bars at peel park,have they stopped that now,i dont know whats happening our kids are now told to use antibac hand wash and not to get any mud on their hands at school and on sports day they are not allowed to do the 3 legged race or sack race or egg and spoon race for the fear of getting hurt,i think it is wrapping them up in cotton wool

Re: Wrap them up in cotton wool.
Is it where you had to jump in and out and sometimes have both legs in and sometimes have one leg at each side?
