I've never heard of the game.

I thought this was going to be a thread about lovely old cottage gardens and sort of herbs and things my Granny used to grow and use for medicinal purposes.

Ooh I wish I'd listened to her more. The one I always remember is comfrey which she called knitbone, used for sprains. She used to make a foul brew from the leaves which we soaked our ankles in and then wrapped the soggy leafy mess round the ankle with a bandage.

Err....I believe that this is not a playground game, as played down south, but is in fact, an early computer game. As regards gardens up in Accy, most people didn't have 'em; they had back yards instead, which with luck had bogs and coal sheds. Proper stuff.

We had a bin hole and a drop in our back yard, coal went down coal hole into the cellar. I noticed when I was at Church they had Flagged over the coal holes. I take it they still have the cellars?

My Gran had a thing she called her "front patch" and another thing n her yard which she called her "back patch".

Mind you. She didn't live in Accy.

You can grow the herbs in small pots or a window box,the seeds are on sale at dare I say it Wilinsons, there is six different sorts in one packet, a small bag of compost and a bit of daylight pluss a pinch of 'TLC' bingo fresh herbs.
