    We used 'Diana' air pistols in the Garden's backie - hard or what



    It was lazzie bands and paper bent and folded into U shapes for the classroom only.

    But we were nice kids really - honest, it was all done with the consent of the opposition.

    Apart from those games already said......I used to spend many summer hours on Rice Lane Rec, They used to let the grass grow dead long (never seems to grow that long now) We'd be made up when the fella used to come and mow it cos we used to pile the 'hay' up (as we called it ...it was CUT GRASS Luv!) and make a HUGE pilke then my brother and his mates used to get us to line up and get an arm an a leg, swing us and throw us on....funny how when they got to me, they swung harder and I landed on me backside

    We used to play in our den on Hartleys hill, and whenever it snowed, we'd all take a biscuit tin lid or a tray....dependin how big your arris was, and slide down!

    We had hours of safe fun, (cept for the odd flasher), those were the days weren't they?

    How come all you red blooded scouse males haven`t mentioned "Catch a girl
    Kiss a girl" children`s game yet? All the girls would be given a few minutes to
    run away then the lads would chase after them,and when you caught one you
    got a kiss. needless to say all the not so nice looking ones ran very slowly.
    There was also "grab the can" in which two teams lined up on each side of the street, a tin can was placed in the middle of the street, each member of
    the teams was given a number then when your number was called out by the
    umpire who stood near the can. The object was to either grab the can and
    get it back to your side without your opponent touching you, this meant you both circled around the can waiting to make the first move.

    Yeah, remember catch the girl, kiss the girl - whoooohooo do I remember it. Also True, dare, kiss or tell (or 5 minutes in hollywell) as we'd call it.
