Work a week and play a week. If you were not at work then you must be playing. I remember my parents using this phrase when there was not much work. I wished that did not have to go to school at the time. |

My Grandma always used the expression, "playing" meaning not working. She would say that people were playing if the mill was closed for a holiday, e.g. Wakes weeks. Joan |

Was that a derivation of 'larking'? I remember my grandfather accusing me of 'larking about when I was reading!! |
