Our main game was British Bulldog. Do they still play that?

Local lass

Idont think they are allowed to play british ball dog in school ,its all health and safety gone mad .
i think the in game for playtimes now is take down tag where your apponements rugby tackle you to the ground .But they have also banned them from playing that ,probebly due to angry parents complaining of muddy or torn clothes .

WE USED TO PLAY CONQUERS thats been banned in most school playgrounds now.

Local lass

I used to sell the school paper for a penny a sheet,i had a very gulible friend who would buy it.
and someone who i knew used to spend all his money then go up and down the dinner ques ask for 10p from each person .i was amazed at how much he got. Laughing

I had to collect one penny from each year, old pennies that is, and I used it to start my first bank account.
We also collected marbles, conkers (at the right time of year) and those football cards you used to get with sheets of bubble gum cant remember what they were called. Also flags of the world that was quite interesting.
