Raggy Dolls are claimed to be made for children's television on the Yorkshire Television network.
This is partly true. The original idea came from the contents of a rubbish skip in the toy factory in Cushendall, Northern Ireland.
The name "Raggy Dolls" was chosen because a play on the town name became Cushion Dolls, this was deemed as inaccurate, due to the complexity of the shapes.

A childhood ball game.
Two people or teams stand on either side of the road and take turns throwing the ball across the road.
Points are scored for every time the kerb is hit. Extra points for trickshots i.e over a car or backwards.
Named for the fabled accidental inventor Crabby Mr Cribby, who hated all forms of ball games.
Known to culchies as Kerby.
