What did you play? OS games.

I was in junior school in the mid 80's and we played Bulldog, skipping and (imaginatively!) elastic. The crazes seemed to last a few weeks and then change overnight. We also tried to play Bulldog after it got banned by telling the dinner ladies that it was called something different, we got away with it for one lunchtime and then that name was banned too :rotfl:
Hide & seek and cartwheels & handstands were a regular summer term thing too.

I remember playing Squares with my sister, my parents had a plastic runner down the hallway that had little spikes which you could stomp through a piece of paper to get he grid for the lines, I must remind my sister about this, we would play this for hours in that draughty hallway

Ackey one two three! Can't remember what it was about, but remember shouting it in the playground!

British Bulldog...bit dangerous.

And the anthem...'All join on for join on tag'...where it seemed like a million kids would link arms. Lessons would start by the time everyone had linked together!

Used to play marbles on the drain covers on the pavement, hopscotch, skipping, cats cradle, ball against the wall... Aah the good days wish I could go back in time.

Hester: Thanks for that. The old grey matter is stirring.

There was one that started,
"I am a girl guide dressed in blue.
These are the things that I can do.
Bow to the King, (we had one in those days)
Curtsey to the Queen

Which is where I stop. I think there is one 'touch the ground,' and 'turn around'. The rest is lost in the mists of time.

I seem to recall that in our school playground it went
"I am a Girl Guide dressed in blue,
These are the actions I can do.
Curtsey to the King
Bow to the queen
Show your knickers to the football team."

Oh yes, JackieO, we always had our roast dinner on a Saturday, (Sunday being for church) and ITMA used to broadcast about then because I always associate it with leftover Yorkshire pudding and golden syrup which was always our pudding after a roast dinner. I must have been about 8 when Tommy Handley died. I was devastated.
After that there was !!!! Barton, special agent, and Take It From Here with the Glums.

You realise that we are just indulging ourselves with these memories, don't you. It's so nice to be able to share these with someone else who actually knows what you are talking about.

I like it Ivyleaf. I don't think our version was half so risque.

The wonderful Glums Ohhhh Ron:rotfl: 'allo,'allo''allo,:rotfl: I adored that programme and the lunacy of The Goon Show I thought it a hoot that grown men could act as daft as kids with funny voices.The slightly risque Round the Horn with Jules and Sandy and Kenneth Horne, Billy Cotton and WAKEY WAKEY :) the wireless brought us so much laughter back then and no a swear word in sight folk didn't have to eff and jeff to make you laugh.Valentine Dyalls sonorous voice as The Man In Black
Definitely over indulgence monna but so many good memories :):)
