    Sounds similar to 'Flumps' - a game from my Uni days - we were sweet and innocent really, honest!

    'We rode bikes in packs of 7 and wore our coats by only the hood.'


    This made me laugh,remembering when my brothers got new choppers and I got the 2nd hand girls bike ! I was mad,however it didn't matter when the whole street went out in a pack playing 'Wacky Races' and I got to be Penelope Pitstop.................

    Re: For the "oldies"

    Do you know what I find weird and scary about all those things which we "oldies" did back then? (btw I'm 28 and take the hump at rememberring parma violets and drinking from the hose and being classed as an oldie )

    Noone sued when we fell out of trees and off walls etc etc. Yet it's us who are the parents these days...

    What happened? If it wasn't that bad to go out and play and live without technology and computers and fall off a wall without blaming someone else for putting the wall there in the first place then who on earth is taking out the lawsuits? Doesn't make sense to me.

    (Sorry to bring down a humorous thread!!)

    does anyone remember the love hearts that were actually heart shaped (not round with a picture of a heart) and you got two for 1p (or 1/2p each!!) God I'm 28 folks and I suddenly feel a lot older. I'm practically talking in old money

    Re: For the "oldies"

    I'm too young to remember the original radio programme, but when I was little my auntie made me tapes with the Hello Children songs on so it's like memory lane for me too. The tapes have disappeared somewhere along the way, but we now have cds of them - they're ace! (I'm just a big kid really... )

    Oh yeah,

    I loved these too!! I can actually imagine the taste right now!! Yum Yum!!

    I am now a mummy and I have to say, most health visitors and other mums would be disturbed to hear that I only bought a stair gate for my second child AND I put it at the top of the stairs, not the bottom. The youngest is only 18 months and I have stuck her in her own bed already, without a guard. The oldest is only 3 and a half and she is on the top bunk!! (Must say that we have never had any accidents whatsoever, YET!!)

    It's not that I don't care, I just don't fell pressured into buying all this safety equiptment that, let's face it, our parents and their parents before never needed.

    My parents never had stair gates or bed guards for us when we were little. If we fell out of bed we were picked up and put back into them again.

    Oh god, I really do feel as though I am turning into my mother more and more each day.

    Lotsa love Lorna x-x

    That's the version I remember. Also I never missed the Black & White Minstrels. I used to call them the Golliwogs. Dai Francis was the one that used to sing like Al Jolson.........Ah..they were good times, *sigh*
