Uckers in Devon
I believe it is/was called Euchre (sp?) in pastyland.
If this is the same game as Uckers, then there were many thriving leagues in the pubs and clubs surrounding Chivenor in the 1960s - not sure about today.
Bit of confusion there. Euchre is a trick taking card game along the lines of whist, rummy etc, whereas Uckers, as anyone who served in the RAF or Navy knows, is a vicious refinement on the board game of Ludo.
dunno about Devon but Euchre is still very popular in Cornwall - I have a mate who never misses euchre night at his local.
(Btw Devon - pastyland? I did eat a Devon pasty once
)
Crew rooms were fertile ground for card games. Kirky was the game of choice when on standby, but I havent heard of it since I left the service.
