Letter: Over the border, tig's the name of the game
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I was brought up in Glasgow(in the 1950s) and I never played hopscotch ("You can't play tag on a computer", 27 October). I never knew any of my friends to play hopscotch. That was an "English" game. We played beds with a peever, and we never played tag, always tig.
It is to be hoped that when the social workers are teaching the children these games they will do a little research into local terms.
