    We used to call it knock knock ginger

    Often played in association with hedgehopping :)
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: how funny

    It was fun at the time unless you hit rose bushes on the other side!
    Can't do it these days as peeps have fences or walls.

    Seriously, the decline of natural boundarys or almost non-existent these days.

    Kids don't know the meaning of fun!

    We called it chap door run as well :rotfl:

    I mind getting caught one night and nearly dying with fright :rotfl:
    And then trying to act all casual, like it wasn't me :rotfl::rotfl:

    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    I told my kids about the games we used to play, couple of weeks later got knock at door people from down the road complaining as they had been playing knock and run. My kids said "but mum used to play it" knew i would get in trouble for it :rotfl::rotfl:

    I tell you it's scary the stuff we did for amusement :eek: OH and I were reminiscing recently about a salt quarry near us when we were kids. Obviously it was a draw for local kids because it was locked up and we shouldn't have been there.......so where else would we go? :D :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    There was a woman who lived by it used to come out and point a double barrelled shotgun at kids who went in the quarry :eek::eek: Can you imagine that happening now? Someone pointing a gun at your kids?? :eek: She was called Fanny as well, just to make it even funnier :D:o :rotfl:
