Balls! Coloured Ones!
Where have all the Billiard Halls gone to, with all those shiny coloured balls?There was a few in each Town. and at least you knew where the menfolk were ,because that is were they all concregated.
Also a Billiard /Pool Snooker Table in evey Pub
Some women became good at Billiards, including one of my daughters who at age 18 years could beat her Father and many other men at the game, much to their annoyance.
Computers have now taken over many people's lives, making us all less energetic. Of course most women stiil do housework so still keep fit.
Apparently walking up and down stairs uses lots of calories too.

Ive still got my ex husband's long Cue at home.
Very useful for poking people and reaching in high places and opening curtains.
It can be used as a dangerous weapon as well
I have played Billiards too, but being tiny had to nearly lie on the table
It was referred to as Snooker as well, depending on the size of the table and number of balls.

Re: Balls! Coloured Ones!
Someone opened a Billiards Hall at the bottom of our road many years ago. According to my gorillas, there were some twenty Billiard tables in there. It was very busy when it first opened, probably a novelty at the time, but it closed down within 2 years as I believe Snooker became very popular at the same time.|
