We had a council ditch out of the front of our house. Our house was at the very edge of the town, and the council ditch continued on for miles beyond our house. In winters (before global warming) it would rain (even pour) for weeks on end. My favourite toy (if you can call it a toy) was a Paddle Pop stick (Paddle Pops in those days were called Polar Bars). My mate and I would just put a Polar Bar stick each in the council ditch, and then run after them both for miles to see who won the great boat race ... and who ended up the first boat to reach the local sewerage dam ...

A: Paddle Pop.
