Re: A trip down memory lane
There was a flower that you plucked the petals saying as you did.. "she loves me.. she loves me not". Most times I finished with the latter. Drat.. unlucky at love....

A trip down memory lane
Originally posted by staffslad View PostThe thing is that there were no gangs anyway at our school, and I wondered when I got older how the no-gangs rule would have been enforced. I mean, if you were with a few of your friends, would that constitute a gang?

That triggered a memory !
When I was my secondary school, probably (about '72 ) there was one really tough lad in our second year ( aged 13) who was the '****' of the whole school !!!
Anyways one dinner time he was strutting around the playground with his hangers on and I noticed he was wearing a metal studded belt and metal knuckle dusters !!
The rumour was that he was fighting the '****' of the neighbouring school at the end of lessons ...
3:30 came and instead of going home we saw hundreds of lads walking together across the common ... so me and a few others followed them ... think it felt kinda of exiting ...anyways after about 10 minutes walking at the rear of this 'army' we overheard that there was going to be a massive gang war between the two schools ..
.
After a few nervous looks and gulps we turned tail and ran home [emoji4]
They never made it to the other school as both sets of teachers got to hear of the plan and intercepted their own pupils ..

Originally posted by staffslad View PostMmmmmm...the Buttercup glow and fancying the other person also rings a bell, but there was as well the likeing butter thing.
At infants school there were many trees and bushes, and I remember spending many hours of playtime and lunchtime hunting for Cuckoo spit.
Also at infants school, I remember there was a stern rule that we could not have gangs. I suppose this would have been a few years after mods and rockers, and around the time when skinhead gangs were in the news. Not sure if the teachers thought we were going to riot Brighton-style in the playground.

Originally posted by staffslad View PostAs a child growing up, in summer when buttercups were in flower and it was sunny, we would pick one and hold it under someone's chin. If the buttercup cast a glow on the person's skin then we would say that they like butter.
Also, we were told not to pick dandelions as if you did it would make you wee the bed--in fact, we called dandelions 'wee the beds'.

Used to love going into our local chippy in the UK as a kid and getting a "bag of scraps", all the batter bits out of the bottom of the fryer in a paper bag.
There's a chippy in Lymm ( Lymm Dam) that charges for the fish batter bits !!

We had the traditional corner shop Fisho when I was growing up. Most were owned by new Italian or Greek settlers. Dont see them around all that often these days. Most have moved into the shopping arcades. We have crumbed cod and extras every second Friday from the local Fisho.
