What ´s the name of this game in english?



David Lisgo

Another name for marbles is liggies.
 
This is may be restricted to the Newcastle region of England. It also has a vulgar meaning.
 
"He dropped his liggies doon the netty. (nettie?)"
 
Now what on earth does that mean?

Did he drop them down the drain ( ´doon the stank � in Glasgow)? A common enough experience for wee boys playing in the street.
