We were poor, when I was growing up, we had a grocer a mile away, who sold bags of broken ones. I had to walk that far to but a bag. I think it cost threepence a bag…
Apart from marbles, our favourite game was Test Match, board game. We would play it over 5 days. Great memories of playing with my next door mate, Ronald.
Last time I played would have been when I was around 11, I am 75 now! I had a ball bearing as a marble, it would knock a few marbles out of the circle, not just one.. ☺️☺️
