We called it paldies (pronounced paul-dies) - and our grid was different and had nine boxes 1, 2, 3 in a line, 4,5 side by side, 6, then 7,8 side by side and 9 was a semi circle. (how do i even remember that?) We also played another version, skiffies or something, a grid of six and you had to hit the paldie with the side of your foot and skif it into the next box without it landing on a line. Can't quite remember the full rules there.
White Dog poo. Aww, those were the days.

We call it Hopscotch
Cuckoo spit
Where'd that go
The Raleigh Grifter (1976-1983)
My parents would not even entertain the idea of buying me a Chipper, Chopper, Grifter or even a racing bike. I was forced to endure an entirely plain, square bicycle with zero cool factor attached to it. Still, I had my revenge after leaving school by purchasing a beat-up old Lambretta entirely against their advice!

They weren't any different than the Malory Towers ones, Sprout - except for twins
Was all lacrosse, horses and lashings of ginger beer And we weren't allowed to read them at school; I can still see Mrs. Webster's disdainful sneer when I told her I had the full set of both at home I was only about 8 yrs old..!

That is Malory Towers I think Cosmo. Although it was a long long time ago.
I can't really remember who is in either series.... I just remember loving them, and wanting to go to boarding school And what about the Chalet School series....

Yayyy... I can.... but 5 stones were different.... they were like coloured, chalky dice..... with ribbed edges... and you didn't use the ball.... And did anyone remember collecting *scraps*....?

Don't remember the Chalet School, Baz.
We used to have a teacher, Mr. Tutt, who always finished Friday's off with a book. He'd read a chapter and then the rest of us would take turns to read to the class. I used to love fridays! Can't recall many of the books now but one that sticks in my mind (and which my mum bought for me) was One Hundred Million Francs by Paul Berna.

Must have got lost in transit and translation then, Baz 'cos I always thought you used a ball with 5 stones too? Perhaps we did where I lived, eh?
What were *scraps* (they sound like playground punch ups)

Well we just used to throw them up in the air and try and catch as many as we could o the back of our hands........ Scraps were little paper cut outs, of all sort of things, but mostly Victorian ladies etc....... Oh and what about Pick a Stix???

Oooh yeah, we used to throw them up and catch them too - we played that with the jacks as well. I suppose it depended on who remembered to bring their jacks/stones in to school that day as to how we played the game
Yep, remember Pick a Stix - those plus marbles must be the fore runner to Kerplunk, surely?
And I had two cut out dollies with 'real' hair - 1 blonde and 1 brunette. I used to love playing with them as they were really good quality and didn't tear easily.
Cinderella shoes..! Pink plasticky glittery heeled thingies with elastic straps to hold them in place..!!!! God, they were awful when you look back, and no where near as good as the ones they make for kiddies nowadays

I was too much of a tom boy for those, but I do remember them....... and I remember having those cut out dolls... with lots of cut out clothes Mind you, i hated dolls.... give me a sword any day
S'funny Baz, I wasn't into dolls really either.
Barbie and Sindy left me cold although I'm sure I was bought a Sindy one Christmas, but I did love those flat cardboard cutouts! I used to ride my bike wearing my Cinderellas and as the brakes didn't work, the shoes soon fell apart
I think my favourite toy back then was my doll's house (never had a doll for it though); my dad was an electrician so he added a few extra lights to it. It looked like a gin palace
I was the envy of my mates for that.

OMG! I remember coveting them for months... the local sweetie shop/confectioner sold toys too and they had them on display. I was over the moon when i finally got a pair. Loved them. They also had one of those money boxes shaped like a chocolate vending machine that dispensed Cadbury's miniatures for 2p (or 1d more likely!) Speaking of which - who remembers proper vending machines stuck to outside walls that dispensed chewy and chocolate bars? (and fags of course)
I remember collecting scraps too, Baz. All seems a bit pointless when you look back eh?
Hurrah..! K-Bo, you remember the shoes And of course I can recall the Cadbury's choccy machines; I think you can still get them now on sites like iwoot etc.
My mate's upgraded and got herself a humungus M&M's choccy dispenser. It's a big globe shaped thing and you just turn the dial and it serves up a perfect handful of those irrisistible peanut coated chocs.........
I used to get 10 Number 6 out of vending machines whilst wearing my school uniform and trying to look inconspicuous (wearing a straw boater too!)
I adored this game
Can anyone remember playing 2 ball against the wall when my nana died and we emptied her house, i found the 2 tennis balls i used too play with, i've had them for years and my daughter wanted to have a go when she was little first time she did she threw it straight onto the roof
We used to play a game up the wall with tennis balls that involved things like...1 up the wall, 2 bounce then catch, 3 turn around etc...

Yes. We called it stott against the wa`. (bounce against the wall)
You were an expert if you could manage 3.

We called that doublers. We also had a game that was a bit lethal... put the tennis ball in the foot of a pair of old tights or stockings, standing back to the wall and swinging it back and forth so it hit the wall in various places - left side, right side, between your legs, above your head, right of your head, left of your head. One wrong move and you were concussed....
Loving this thread.
Yes, doublers. We called it that too. I forgot about that game with the tennis balls in tights. One stott wrong and you were clobbered!
Now you're talking Yogi I loved my Spirograph with a passion.
I bought one for one of my children years later and they all hated it with the same passion
It got thrown away in the end
I had a slightly more modern version of this record player - mine was lilac.

Playing "Chinese ropes" (elastic bands all joined together) in the primary playground.
My two earliest TV memories
My favourite (pre-school) tv programme.
Yogi - "name the five original Watch With Mother programmes" was one of the questions in our pub quiz a few weeks ago.
Shows our age - but we got every one
Andy Pandy
The Wooden Tops
Watch with Mother
Picture Book
Rag, Tag and Bobtail?
That's my guess.

Never mind Rexi, at least you still have your memory..
Soozy, you missed out Bill and Ben. I think "Watch With Mother" was a collective heading for the other programmes.

I read all of the Mallory Towers, and I do not recall one lesbian theme.
I had a Raleigh Fourteen bike, the only bike I ever had until I was an adult an bought my own. It looked like the kind of bike a circus monkey would ride, very tiny wheels.
We used to ride our bikes around the 'Wall of death' which was a waste hill on an old brick works next to where I lived. I wasn't impressed when that old lad got sold off for house development.
I read all of Mallory Towers and The magic Faraway Tree.
Has anyone mentioned Spangles yet?
Or buying a bag of chips on a Friday night, and it cost you 10p?

Oliver Tobias was in some sort of Viking thing as well wasn't he? My recollections are hazy but there was a character called Kai .........or something like that.

Dick Turpin (opening credits). Lightweight, late 70's/early 80's TV drama starring Richard O'Sullivan - which I think occupied a Saturday teatime slot in the schedules.
I know this one was re jigged recently but ........................nothing could top the original - it was compulsive viewing IMO.
Oh what about this

That would have been Arthur of the Britons - I can vaguely recall the rousing theme music (and Brian Blessed maybe?) - but little else!
Oooooooooooooh yeah that was it ...............................as i remember I was 15 and already out working but I got wednesday afternoons off ..............I used to enjoy it ...................I'm off to You Tube to see if i can find it
Here you go
Id pay to see Kizzy again, it was on bbc1 in 1976. I loved it!
Its never been shown again, but has a lot of feedback and people asking over the years to see it.
If anyone knows how i can get to watch it, id be forever in your debt.
I used to ask after it on channel 4 as well
I remember this being on in the Summer holidays when my kids were young .........................we used to watch it together. There's something a bit nostalgiac re the kids and summer holidays .....................I loved having them at home and was always sad when the holidays were over and they went back to school.
