can remember dancing round the maypole but not on a park anywhere - it was carried around and the girls who went to sunday school danced round it holding ribbons and there was one who sat in the middle and held the pole so then it wouldnt fall over.

I remember when playing on the swings, when you got to a certain height it was called the 'bumps', and you used to get a real jolt that should really have given you whiplash.

Swings aren't set up to do that any more. We also used to launch ourselves off the swings from it's full height to see how far we could go. I suppose there were too many compensation claims that they had to make things safer.

Falling from the conker tree from a height of 6' and having the wind knocked out of you, just because the flimsy branch couldn't take your weight and those all those lovely big conkers.

Those elastic things that two people put round their ankles and somebody else had to jump in and out of the middle.

Re: childhood memories

Wrote about it before but getting my friends to push me up and down Stanhill Lane in a wheelchair I found at the tip, that I painted beige with black spots, because I wasn't allowed a bike until I was ten.
