annswabey 599 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks, Benjamin. Tried to imagine what you mean about an imaginary card, but still don't know what you mean! He wasn't one for going out to clubs, but used to play at work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 48 847 Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 My Dad, a big card player, used to play Coo Kan or however you spell it. Can't remember what it was, though Ann, I used to play Ku Kan with your dad in the canteen at Elastic Yarns and what a memory he had for knowing what card was coming next because he memorized them from the previous hand when they were being stacked and reshuffled. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beduth 202 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 When a kid pinched another kid's skin during a scrap the perpetrator was said to be 'fennie'. If he couldn't stand the cold he was 'nesh' and if he seemed to be a bit dim he would be described as being 'suckie' Any recollections of these sayings? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
