Remember these @SirBalon Used to get as many on there as possible including standing up on the boards facing inwards and kick yourselves round against the center pole as hard and as fast as you could while trying not to clatter yourself.. Or this... Or these where you had a couple of you running round it pushing it so fast some of you would slide off and fall on the concrete.... Standing on the swings to get maximum height before leaping off for the longest jump.... or trying to get them so high you might flip over which ever came first.. Now it's all safety seats and 3 inch Black Rubber matting.... How is anyone supposed to have fun and experience danger with that lot??? I remember in the 80's to early 90's. The slides in the parks were sky high. Health and safety meant they were reduced to a quarter of their original size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted March 30, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted March 30, 2022 Love looking back to when we were wee nippers, no tv, mobiles, internet, we just kept ourselves happy making our own games outdoors, I looked forward to the school holidays or wagging school with your mate and heading up to the local woods. Conkers Marbles or 'Miggies', either dig a hole and try and knock your marble in it, you could tell your own marble by the size or colour or make a circle and knock the marble out. The best times for me were making a go-cart out old pram or pusher wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think dustbin men use to get some serious back injuries. I think it's good they dont use them anymore.

Used to jump from the garage onto the lawn. Back then you'd always be taking shortcuts which meant you'd be climbing walls and jumping from them.
