little house on the praire

Just seen something on Facebook about the old fashioned playgrounds and what a death trap they where.

What did you do as a kid you wouldn't get away with now.

I will start. When we used to stay at my grandmas as a special treat my uncle used to drive us round the village and the treat was we where in the boot

I rode around in the boot as a child from time to time

These days I don't think I would have been allowed to sit in the car with a child seat.

we had a Volvo estate with rear facing seats and no seatbelts. After watching a crash test programs during a Christmas holiday, we were banned from going in the back, not even the dog was allowed in there.

Play in a builders yard next to my rugby club after games. Good source of old jazz mags.

Walk to primary school alone and not get grabbed (grew up in Stoke Mandeville so was lucky there)

When I was four my mum would put me on the bus and tell the conductor to put me off at a certain stop where my grandmother would be waiting for me. She would also put me in a train carriage then take the pram with my brother in it to the guards van before returning MV can't remember if she left my brother in the guards van or not.

There's a housing estate where I used to live. 40 or so houses.

I know for a fact that me and my mates had a piss out of every single upstairs window when they were being built.

Hide and seek on a building site dominated a whole primary school summer holiday

It was okay if your car was an estate but if it was a saloon, then that's seems really sinister

Yes this!

As one of 5 kids in the car, we would argue who gets to be the lucky one(s) who get to sit in the boot. The other 3 or 4 in the back seat with no belts.

couple, us we him her.

Part of my childhood was spent living in rural Lincolnshire in farming community.

Me and mates used to play on his dad's farm!!

Talk about dangerous machinery, chemicals and so on.

I almost died on one occasion playing hide and seek,I thought it would be a good idea to climb into a grain storage thing.

Until I started sinking.its just like quicksand.

Luckily one of the farm workers heard me screaming and pulled me out.

I was about ten.

A clip round the earhole followed.

We also used to shoot the rats on the farm with my mate.

He had this small Caliber single barrel shotgun thing.

I had my air rifle.

Another time I nearly drowned in a house huge pit thing I fell in.

Almost chomped by a combined harvester.

Farms are the gift that keeps giving in terms of danger!!

Electric fences.

The lad(17 -18)across the road used to build motorised go carts and take us for blast's around one of his dad's fields, regularly crash.

And the one that really gets me.

Behind our house was a chemical storage facility that the helicopters used to land and load up with pesticides before going to spray the fields.

We used to go and play in what we called the "rainbow puddles"

Basically loads of chemical mixed on the floor!!

Yeah happy days, kids today don't know they are born
