New use for knicker elastic!

I found a wonderful board-type game for my GC this Christmas - it is called "Pigs in Pants" and players have to accumulate knickers for their pig. It involves a great deal of shouting "I'm going to pinch your pants/nick you knickers!" As you can imagine, they loved it!

Sounds excellent. Right up my GCs (and my own) street!

One of my grannies wore woolly 'combies'. When she came to visit, my mum was afraid that neighbours would think that those monstrosities on the washing line belonged to her. The other granny wore almost knee length knickers in a shiny fabric which I think was known as 'celanese'.

There's a hilarious children's book called 'Pants', much loved by my GC when younger - say 3 - 6. Easily found on you-know-where.

Many threads ago a poster mentioned a book for children about animals pooing. I'm thinking about 6 months ago. Does anyone remember what it was called? My 3 yr old GC cousins would love that. The Pigs in Pants game and the Pants book also sound fun. Children love naughty humour and I love to hear the guffaws.

There's also a book called The Queen's Knickers by Nicholas Allen.
When my mum was pegging her knickers on the washing line my Dad used to say, " Mum's pegging out her Alex James's".

I always heard those bloomers referred to as ETBs--elastic top and bottom.

Bellanonna - we've got one simply called Poo and another called The Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of his Business. I think I've also seen other titles on the subject and mused how unthinkable all these books would have been when I was small!

Thanks Eirel. I'll look them up.
