I've never been on, or been involved in an Easter egg hunt, nor do I remember it being a British thing. Does it happen there or is it a North American idea. The Easter Bunny, now what does he do? is he the Easter version of Santa but bringing eggs??

When I was very young and living in Co Durham we used to make pace eggs, eggs boiled in food colouring or painted. We then played jabby eggs which involved holding a hard boiled egg in your hand and bashing someone else's hard boiled egg. The one that lasted the longest was the winner. Are there any other regional traditions?

Asa a child in Northumberland we did the same thing only we called it 'japping' eggs and we had to roll it to 'bash' another egg.

Ditto. Typically with something like a smarties egg that came in a branded mug.
