Lets dig up the past.

Walkman cassette player.. I still have mine! Even Portable CD players can be consigned to the history books now!

Secret Bars!!

fruit Polos

Smiths made Chipsticks, but I havent seen them now.

 

I'd forgotten those until you mentioned it.

 

I remember cap guns.. you couldn't do that now, you'd be locked up for terrorist crimes

 

My brother had a cap gun

I had my dolls pram and pushed with our pet poodle dog

lundies skipping ropes at school

Hoola hoops
And ball games against the house wall or playground wall

roller skates

Stilts

 

Tennis in the middle of the street because you could, a car would only come down once or twice at a day.

Every now and then a stray ball would hit somebody's living room window and everyone would bolt into their respective houses rather than face the terror of being told off. Not like nowadays where kids have no fear of that sound of a boom followed a few seconds later by the sound of a front door handle clicking.

 

Mmmmmmmmmm fruit polos yummy

 

hopscotch! sliding around on the frozen playground.. there was always one person who got a serious injury. Noels House Party and Funhouse

 

They still do chipsticks I had a bag today. Also seen bacon frazzles

 

remember Curby with a ball but there wasnt a lot of cars in the 70s so it was sfe to play it

 

Yes we would always do that too! You could leave the door open, without fear of being robbed, and also you could, like you say play in the street, before the time of 'elf n safety.

Joolz, Kerby, brilliant haha, used to love that. We used to make our own rules, if you hit the kerb twice in a row, the other person had to bend over and people would kick the ball at their bum.. (a bit like the football game; redarse)

 

The names rings a bell but I couldn't quite remember so I asked wife. Now it seems I've committed to a game tomorrow.

 

Marbles/Allies....i was a marble champion..........stick ya heel in,swivel to make the hole and judge the grass Aim !!
