Question for Non-Hamiltonians

[pyat]

Did you ever play "Ledgies?"

Googling, the only references I can find to the word as a game seem to be from Blogs written by Hamiltonians, and more specifically, East Enders.

I never played Ledgies because I was afraid / too superior to ask how it was played.

YOu didn't have to ask how to play ledgies, you just watched others to figure it out. Tsk, tsk. I went to Wentworth Street Public School and it had the required slanted ledge about 6 or so feet up the wall. And no, I've never heard folks outside of Hamilton mention it.

I didn't want to hang around too close - people would make fun of me! I had to skulk in the far reaches of the schoolyard and play "Space Explorer" or "Star Wars" with my friend Keith.

Wow, I thought *I* was isolated in school.

Mind you, my "friend" Keith liked to do stuff like steal my coat and play keepaway with my only other "friend" Ajmal. But I still got to play games like handball sometimes.

Well, I was (and am) rather uncoordinated, and disliked sports of any kind. I had three or four good friends who were actual friends - but they didn't play Ledgies. :)
