Of course...we all did!

Did you get a certificate for it?

Actually the needle is far too small to qualify, and it has to go through the nail as well!

Good pastime though.

Yes most definitely, it was part and parcel of serving your apprenticeship along with scrumping apples and taking a magnifying glass to ants on a sunny day.

All guitarists can do it. Dead skin abounds on the ends of their fingers.

It's not me in the picture AP, but I didn't know you could get a certificate for doing it. Did you get them up there in Yorks then?

Slippy I've never seen an apple orchard in Brixton. Did you have to venture into the badlands of Clapham?

There was an orchard near my school HH, seems a harmless enough activity now looking back on it but when the owner saw us pinching his Bramleys he used to go mad. I was a good runner in those days so he never caught me.

Hard to imagine a child of the 21st century being able even to climb a tree, never mind eating an apple.

I doubt kids today even know what a board game is, or a CD

That is sadly very true screaming from beneaththewaves. Not only that but they seem to be completely devoid of any common sense as well. My nephew who is 15 is basically a good lad but ask him what 11 x 14 is and he wouldn't have a clue.
