You were able to take skipping ropes to school and play conkers and no one called health and safety!!!!!!

Remember the big kids making me go and knock for Joan. Fluff they used to call her, Errrrrr maybe this should be for another thread.

Remember we used to tie a bit of fishing line to a purse or wallet (empty of course ), drop it in the middle of a footpath and hide behind a bush or car, when someone would bend down to pick it up, we'd yank it away and scare the hell out of em . Caught some coonts with that one

'the dangerous game' was one of our faves as kids. it differed most times, as long as there was an elemnt of danger (for instance, one time was making a see saw on top of a wall), my favourite variation was the milk crate slab game.
we would build a tower out of milk crates until it was a bit higher than the shed.
one person climbed onto the shed and then onto the tower.
the other person chucked paving slabs at the bottom milk crate until the tower fell.
the person on top simply had to stay on as long as he dared, and if he stayed on until it gave way, he had to jump to safety on the shed.
ah good times

I joke of course. I didn't have a ball. we couldn't afford one. we had half a brick to kick

Half a brick - you posh kaaant!

We had to use dried dog poo.

dried dog poo? why would you kick good food around?

One of our favourites was to place a big dog turd on someones doorstep , cover it with a sheet of paper and set fire to it , give the door a hard knock and run away , when the door is answered and they see the paper burning what do they do ? they stamp on the fire to put it out

another fave of ours were grass traps.
we would tie grass together to make a trap for someone to trip in; we would then lie down to simulate a where a victim would fall and place dog shite and broken glass where there head would land
