People commenting on what they see considering the virus is still amongst us. Many of us still want masks as much as possible to prevent further transmission. Simple as that
Feel free to wear them. No one is stopping you.
Wear a mask because you care more, it might even give some anonymity when you’re hitting those small children

True, but I'm ancient so doomed. The threat was enough for my kids - never hit them once(y)(y).

From an earlier era when both parents would give me a good smack. Of course we've moved on although I can hardly say it affected me and was "normal". Wouldn't condone it in todays society in any shape or form and of course where the like of you and me would give them a swift clip (I remember when coppers did it too) that only ends one way now

It seems (according to google) it is knock down ginger but cherry knocking is a regional thing in some areas of the South.

We have a security camera so told them they're on it twice now and I'd report it to the police and their parents if they appeared a third time :)

Wife reports it was called “Knock and nash” in Bridlington?
We always called it “Knock down Ginger” though.

Driving home from nights in the lasses car noticed it felt abit sluggish and crap. 0 miles and the pump symbol flashing on the screen.
She’s definitely left it low knowing I’d have to fill it up. Heads up would of been good!

Who, or what, was Ginger and why did they deserve knocking down?

We were clearly less imaginative in our names, we just called it “chap door run”.
We called it “knick knack’ Remember when I was around 11 and we knew this house where we we get chased and knocked and ran. The ‘chase’ was on and on of the older lads I was with around 13 was a bit of a scrapper. After a while he thought why am I running and stopped.

Slight confrontation and the 13 year old hit the other guy, broke his tooth and ended up in Court. Frightening experience at such an early age but my “friend’ got off with some lame excuse.
