horribleblob Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We use 2p coins, gabby. They're roughly the size (although, not the weight) of the old ha'penny. Still call it "shove ha'penny" though. "Shove Two P" doesn't have the same ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine the threads we'd have on here if kids started chalking up hop scotch grids on public pavements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
