Nah, in What’s the time Mr Wolf, Mr Wolf doesn’t have his back to you, and you ask him what the time is, then he tells you “it’s 4 o’clock” or whatever and you take 4 steps forward. Totally different game!

it’s late and i’m cranky and I didn’t read your post properly shut up

Yeah you’re right come to think of it. The rest still stands though

Ackee 1,2,3 in the midlands.

Wikipedia says otherwise foooooool

Could do with somone mapping the results of the polls onto a map. Bagsy not doing it.

What did you say to claim immunity in a game (like, you wanted a breather if you were playing tig / tag / it / etc):

  • Kree
  • Cross Keys
  • Cross Kings
  • Fay knights or something
  • Other (please specify)

Yeah alright I said in my reply to marckee that I probably remembered that bit wrong BUT WAIT

“There is also a simpler version of the game where Mr Wolf faces the other players, who must remain stationary until “Dinner time” is called. If any player moves on a time of day being called, that player becomes Mr Wolf.” (from that same Wikipedia article)

We were obviously simpletons who needed the easy rules.

Granny Footsteps is A DIFFERENT GAME THOUGH and Wikipedia is wrong

Wait, those adapted rules make no sense! I don’t know what to believe anymore.

schinchies

How is that pronounced?

skin-chies

skin cheese?

Interesting. That’s a new one for me.

some kids said skunchies. i’m assuming it’s a very, very local thing/

No it isn’t. Apologise immediately.

It’s called it you strange man.

You’re from Basildon, right? Basildon is linguisically closer to inner East London, where most of the population originated.

There was no time out. If you were tired you could fuck off and stop playing.
