Did anyone ever play what we called the Grand National as kids, some my call it garden hopping.

Start at one end of a street and and the first person to make it to the other end of the street by jumping from one back garden to another was the winner, best done at night, usual obstacles included. Fish ponds, angry dogs, clothes lines, the odd patio set and green house. All done at speed. Oh how i loved my child hood without computer games

Trophy.

Basically involved doing handstands then various positions with your legs. It also included cartwheels and the crab.

NB.. I can still do them all

Making go carts (soap boxes) out of pram wheels and old bits of wood, then race down the biggest hill, best when removing the rubber from the rear wheels so you could do skids lol

In Stevenage it was apparently called "Boston Kickout" and they made a film with Rick from The Walking Dead in it

Hares and Hounds.... Needed 2 bigish groups. Team of hares and team of hounds. The hounds would give around 5minutes for the hares to go into hiding either in group or split but the hounds had to stay together when hunting the hares. To catch a hare you had to hold on to them for 10seconds which then would turn them into hounds and join the pack. It was great fun and the game could very well last all day.

Get you with your access to erotic movies, we had to wait for something party to show up late night on Channel 4.

I seem to remember The Camomile Lawn was a big hit with the lads at school (or Camomile Porn as they waggishly dubbed it) as was Lipstick On Your Collar, featuring a very young Ewan McGregor

So true, these games we played outdoors will become myths soon.

But its not the same world we live in today. Not a safe place to leave your kids unattended all day till late at night, we used spend all day exploring woods and derelict buildings etc, miles from home then come back at night.

Tick tick a lurky. Not sure why we called it that,but it was tick in the dark in the street. Jumping the neighbours hedges/ fences was brilliant. Four letter word too.

Were they really any safer, those days?

I think similar bad things happened but if it was outside your county you never heard about it.

Now if a dog gets stolen 400 miles away it comes up on Facebook and 101 other media and social outlets

Its a good point, but i guess more things are reported these days so i guess we think it a more dangerous place? But i do think teens on today are more thuggish, just my opinion and its probably due to the restrictions placed on the police to actually do anything about it
