The Drain Game by rich57

The Drain Game

Taught the kids the Drain Game. Very simple. You find a stone, choose a drain and take it in turns to try and kick the stone down the drain. Me and my brother invented it on the way to school in the late 1970's. If a stone bounces back off the drain three times it becomes a Lucky Stone and you're allowed to keep it in your pocket. This particular drain is one of the ones we used all those years ago near my parents house so it was exciting (for me) to get the kids having a game here!
Fabulous game, great memory and how cool that you got to watch the kids playing it.

Well done, and I am sure the council workmen were happy to come and unblock it ... and be paid for their work by the local taxpayers.
