I bet they were all playing Mah Jong

Got it - thanks driving me mad there - far to posh for me !!!!

I have a beautiful part set of Mah Jong pieces in mother of pearl. Apparently my grandmother used to play until her father realised it was gambling......
In China people seemed to be playing cards in the street- didn't see any Mah Jong.

Oh no I play Mahjong and Rosalind I would love to visit Liverpool x

Orientals are renowned gamblers and Mah Jong was / is a particular favourite for them. I still have a full set which I bought in HK in the 70's (but can't remember how to play)

Falling into the Mersey meant a date with the stomach pump.

How many pieces (about) in a full set, RE?

Rosalind love the game - just to beat my personnel best - the more wines I have the more determined I get - but I would genuinely love to visit Liverpool I think Glasgow and liverpool have such great historyxx

Hi emrach; agree about the history, especially shipbuilding. That's what my father did, and my grandfather.

Without getting them out of the loft I seem to remember it's about 140 ish. Used to play it after dinner parties (fondue of course).
