What we remember when we were invited to a friends birthday party.
1.It would be in their house
2.On average there would be no more than 10 invited
3.The games would be pass the parcel,musical chairs,hide and seek,blind mans bluff
4.The food ham or egg sandwiches,jelly & blancmange biscuits crisps pop sausage rolls cheese and pineapple sausages on sticks
5.We took a piece of birthday cake home with us
6,Cant remember what presents we would give maybe a jigsaw or a book paints maybe

Re: Birthday Parties

I remember when we had birthday parties (either being invited to friends or our own) the parents would be in the kitchen drinking wine

Re: Birthday Parties

Poppy, my neice (now eighteen) had a playbus on the drive when she was about five. My brother Peter hired it. Generally, these buses are ex-fleet from bus companies, bought privately & turned into playbuses; also you see some London Routemaster buses converted into wedding 'limo's'
