Leap Frog

1940's & 1950's

It was a common practice to play leap-frog to school and back, there could be as many as 10/12 coming home, so we were a lot fitter than most kids to-day, I can't remember any over weight lads or lassies in my class or mates from other schools who hung about with us, bullying someone about their weight was never heard off, we would leap frog over 10 or 12 the haunch down, waiting for those to leap over you, we took this seriously, leap frog was a big part of our youth, at nights we would go all the way to the end of Irwin St and back to number 2
