Rat a tat tat from what I can remember. I used to live in a small village so it didn't take long for the parents to find out who it was as there was only a small number of kids living there |

"Knock down ginger
This was in Kent. No idea why the name though."

Knock-a-door-run we called it. On particularly delinquent days we would tie cotton from the door handle to a couple of empty milk bottles across the street. Bloody kids eh. |

Knock down ginger.
At night we went hedge hopping across the front gardens. Those were the days when every house had a hedge between the front gardens. You didn't actually hop them; more crashes through them or dove over them. |

We got good at tying string to the letter box of one house and to the opposite house
As on door closed the string loosened and knocked the opposite door |

That’s a very advanced trick to play! I can see a lot of thought went into that trick!  |

"When you were a kid and you knocked on peoples doors and ran away what did you call it ?"
I’m quite surprised ,, I’ve read all the posts but no replies as to what we called it, which was “ knock n nash “
