What did you call this game? You know the one, it's the chase game where one person is designated 'it' and has to chase after everyone else in the playground. The first person they manage to touch then becomes 'it', and the chase continues until someone gets injured or you get stopped by a dinner lady. I've seen it called, 'Tag', 'Tip' or ' Tig' but when I was a kid in 1970s Kent, we called it 'He'.

Those nice people at the Daily Mirror's usvsthem have provided this map of the regional differences, which insists that I lived about thirty miles away from the 'He' zone. Maybe London's influence was stronger than I realised at the time.
