When I lived in Edinburgh we used to get this a lot til I borrowed my in laws dog.

I knew what time the little toe rags went round the blocks, so I took the dog out to play catch with the tennis ball the toe rags took one look at this average sized dog he barked and they took off never had any bother after that!!

Thing was if they had walked over to the dog he would have licked them to death cos he was as soft as marshmallows but sounded mean and angry

Eveshamgal you should have lived where I did when I was a teenager I never had to walk home from the pub the local MOD police always gave me a lift and even unlocked my parents house and re locked the door posting the keys thru the letter box after

Everything was great til I forgot to pick up the keys a few times and my mother found out who it was that was locking the front door I was 24 before she stopped moaning about it

yep weve all done it as kids and thought it was a laugh

but this lot dont knock the door they try and kick it in

i have 2 dogs and they are useless they never bark when the kids bang the door just run round looking for the noise lol

but there cards are marked

caught them knocking next door but ones 2 mins after they banged mine

and i know who they are

so i think i little word in their ears when they are one their own might do the trick

That is indeed not funny... what about asking the local Community SUpport Officer to havea word.. otherwise you may get some parents knocking at your door? Just thinking it might be better to try this way first?

whats a community surport offiicer

we'd be lucky to see a local bobby knocking about unless theres trouble at mill lol

so i dont think they ould be too bothered with a bunch of kids playing knock door run

they will get bored in the end

I've got a a couple of kids in our street that do this. Bloody annoying. Dog goes banana's every time. Course when you talk to the parents they say, 'oh my little jimmy wouldn't do that'. Little s...s! Having said that, I did it to when I was a kid to. We used to call it knocky 9 door. Hilarious fun!!! Not so funny now!

Community Support Officers support the police, wear similar uniforms, visit schools...educate etc... and sometimes a quiet qord in somebody's ear by them or indeed the local bobby would work wonders. Think in some circumstances it would be better than to talk to the kids directly... sadly some parents do not take resposnibility for their kids and would end up accusing you of mistreating their kids.. and you would be ina worse situation. Glad to hear you have the local bobby on your side

Yep we all did it too.

Fishing wire across the street so that when i car drove past it knocked several doors as once

LOL

Thank god for thick hedges to hide behind.

The worse was tho- there was a blind woman down the street - and when they buzzed her bell all her lights would go out, i thought that was mean myself and didnt join in with that one, and thank god or else i owuld be feeling VERY guilty now in my old age

What made it fun for us was the adrenalin rush we got from knowing we'd probably get a good hiding if we got caught.

Or even savaged, if they had a dog and set it after us,as sometimes happened.

It was the risk factor.R

The rush was good as a kid and it was harmless fun. Well mostly it was but you miss that as you get older.

The thing that used to amuse us was the "screaming" from the kid that got caught.

We'd try to rope some fat lad in with us,they were usually slower and would most likely get belted by the householder or bitten by their dog,cruel I know but thats kids.

We never did it to old folks though,despite all else,we had respect in those days.

Besides that,they couldn't chase us! R

There was always one house my wife's brother's and mates would torment to death knowing he would come out and give chase, one of the lads would sit on top of the pouch with a stick knocking on the door when he came to the door he would just lie there and wait…………. And i working with the said gentleman in question still make me giggle now thing about it all

The joys of are youth…………

Not the joys of the youth to day…….. is it wrong I ask

We used to do that too - and i actually ruined a lovely tall "privet" and walking past the next day saw the owner of it shaving it down to about 2 foot

I felt really bad cos he had a lovely garden and was aboviously very proud of it!!!

When we played it it was called Knock Up Ginger but on my old council estate that phrase has an entirely different meaning now.
