does anyone remember playing on the maypole in the swing park and when jumping off the chain behind hit you on the back of the head?

lol
or riding your bike past a group of girls no hands...and falling off

Re: childhood memories
 

Being thrown from the umbrella in front of a bunch of girls and having the **** taken out of you..........

Re: childhood memories
 

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.

Re: childhood memories
 

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.:)

Re: childhood memories
 

Just a broken arm, but that was the death plank.

Re: childhood memories
 

nowadays it probably would give you whiplash everyone was harder back in the day

Re: childhood memories
 

throwing a stick up intothe conker tree and have the stick smack your friend on the head coz hes busy picking up his conkers from his previous throw :D

Re: childhood memories
 

Rope swings too close to the tree its self. Either hit it or jump of either way pain for you a laugh for your mates. :o

Re: childhood memories
 

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.

Re: childhood memories
 

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.
:o

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.

Re: childhood memories
 

i think the IN colour was ..sky blue pink with yellow dots on..or was that just a burnley thing?

Re: childhood memories
 

no, I remember that too Granny

and people used to be as much use as a chocolate watch!

Re: childhood memories
 

as much use as an ashtray on a moter bike...

Re: childhood memories
 

we used the greaseproof paper from bread wrappers to polish the slide up milnshaw park..then you could shoot off the slide like a bullet out of a gun, in the summer holidays we all used to play footy up there as well, it used to be about 18 aside .......happy days! does anyone remember "realio"

Re: childhood memories
 

childhood memory No2 -

Wiping my ass at school with that awfull shiny glossy bog paper and smearing crap up my back in the process

i think you can still buy it at asda but i cant see why anyone would want it unless its only used when the inlaws visit :D

Re: childhood memories
 

I remember people saying sky blue pink with yellow dots on Granny. Has much use has a chocolate tea pot.
I used to love playing elastics Willow. Got many a grazed knee in the process.

Re: childhood memories
 

We had house mothers do do that for us at my school, and they certainly never got it all over our backs.

Re: childhood memories
 

You wouldn't would you, "Are we in the over 18s section?" :)

Re: childhood memories
 

we used to get a comb, and put the izal paper over it ..it made a great musical instrument....:) paper and comb it was called

Re: childhood memories
 

I think paper would have been more hygenic Granny C.:D

Re: childhood memories
 

best to do this before the paper was used so as to avoid hitting bum notes :)

Lying on the 'floor' of the roundabout and dropping or picking up sticks, grazed knuckles/wrists didn't stop us playing it
