Doghouse Riley I don't recognise Chemmienn. The Americans called it The Adventures of Champion. It was a children's western. Here's the lyrics.
Like a streak of lightnin' flashin' 'cross the sky Like the swiftest arrow whizzin' from a bow Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly You'll hear about him everywhere you go The time will come when everyone will know The name of Champion the Wonder Horse.
Just googled Frankie Laine. It's the same one. Maybe that's how you heard him pronounced it. Like most songs of today, I can't understand a half the words being sung,so I have to google the lyrics.
As kids, we used the cardboard milk bottle tops to make pom poms. Threaded the wool over and over through a central hole then, cut round the edges,and wrap wool round the middle..
We also used empty thread spools with nails hammered into the top to do "French" knitting.

I loved Champion the Wonder Horse.
I was Champion the Wonder Horse. I spent my childhood cantering about and whinnying
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Can you remember when you got money back for pop bottles you took back to the shop.
2p to make a phone call at the old red telephone boxes.
RB, I remember the fire being drawn by newspaper.
PC I remember the pop bottles.
I remember the birds pecking through the cardboard milk bottle tops.
There was a song 'If you roll a silver dollar down upon the ground it will roll.....'
Also Peggy - see my photo earlier - called Donald Peers 'bellie ache number one'.

Enjoyed "The Good old Days".
We made carts from wooden fish boxes fixed onto old pram wheels. . . . a bit smelly.
We had to use our imagination to create things.
