What we used to call the small hill at the top of Walverden Road. Next to my Great Uncle William's shop.

That's the one. I used to drive him mad while waiting for the school bus by altering the writing he'd so carefully painted on the shop window with whitewash by careful rubbing out. Pot toes any one? :P

:lol: :lol: Mischievous! I wonder if that's the kind of thing that kids get ASBO's for today? When I think of the things that my brother got up to when we were kids, he'd be under house arrest today! I wonder what changed? Did we all become less tolerant or is it the fact that kids today have little respect for authority?
