Kierki and Clag still played in my household with kids and grandkids. I have not seen any such activity in UK crew rooms since the 80s.
But the squadrons I was on since then had a very different working pattern to the old 8 til 5, with a couple of nights night flying. In those days you were
expected to be at the squadron every working day to be available, at the Flight Commander's whim, for any 'Silly Little Jobs' that came up. 1990 onwards
at least half the squadron was on detachment for Ops or Exercises. We did play some card and board games on detachment but not to the intensity of the 60s.
