mm, adaption on the australian one (think it depended on what school or state youre from)
‘england, ireland, scotland, wales inside, outside, inside, scales, inside, outside, off (scales is the ‘on’ part) .. and yes, i remember doing cartwheels to do the underarms-ies, and necks-ies.

i remember raiding my mothers sewing cupboard for the elastic to use.
