Nonuniform day was socially extremely dangerous. Best to just skive and avoid the potential traps.

The school used to do mufti days for charity so you'd bring a quid in or something and not have to wear uniform, but I grew up in a poor area so about half the kids still wore uniform Looking back that was an awful policy and idea

Yeah from Hants/Surrey and same for us. Brought in £1 and wore your own clothes. I am pretty sure poor kids could still wear mufti and just not bring in a quid. I both liked it (cool no uniform!) and hated it, because I was distinctly uncool. I once made the fatal mistake of telling my friends that a jumper I really liked (Kickers!) my Mum had bought from a charity shop for 50p. Never wore it again after that. Kids are cunts.

My favourite game that we played in scouts was the one where one leader got a huge bit of rope with a knot in the end and then swung it in a circle and we had to jump over it. We only played it twice and then stopped after one girl got a concussion.

British bulldog got banned at our school  We also had leather footballs banned; plastic ones only (even though the better plastic ones are as heavy as leather... made no sense). Only on the field though. If it was playground only, we had to use those sponge ones that soaked up every puddle (and by the end half of it had come off so you're kicking a mis-shapen lump of sponge around)

We only played it twice and then stopped after one girl got a concussion. We used to play "dodgeball". Except it was a really poo poo version. Everyone stood still with their legs apart, and the other team had to bowl a ball along the floor at you. If they got it through your legs without touching your legs you were out. There was no dodging to be seen.

At one point in year 6 they tried to ban running in the playground after someone fell over and hurt themselves. I don't think it lasted that long because it was stupid and unenforceable, but lol that they even tried

We used to play carball. The aim was to wait until the dinnerladies weren't looking and then kick the ball off the side of the playground and to hit a car driving past. Getting the ball back was then a further game as you had to nip down, vault the fence and grab it from whichever garden it wound up in without being seen. We had to stop playing that game after someone got the ball through a sunroof and nearly caused a crash.

We just used to play pranks on the alcoholic teacher with gin in her cupboard, to see if we could get a reaction. We were actually massive cunts, I lit the ceiling on fire once.

Yeah kids were cunts to the teachers too. One was rumoured to have a chicken phobia and the kids would all make chicken noises in his lessons until he would shake with anger. Another one everyone spread rumours was a paedo (he may well have been) - the common rumour being that he'd make girls stand on the tables so he could look up their skirts (which obviously didn't happen).

Does anyone remember 'boot square'? If I remember right, we played it on one of the quarters of the 'tennis pitch' at school, a square basically. The point of the game was to kick a tennis ball at someone & make sure it then bounced outside of the square. Once someone had been 'boot squared' (i think it was that), everyone lined up to make a tunnel the person had to run through while everyone did their best to kick the poo poo out of them. School was clearly different back then.

I had a biology teacher ask one of the 1st year girls to give him a twirl in her PE skirt once. And he had us all fill this confidential survey out about how we'd been molested and how it had affected us. Of course, a bunch of us made up a bunch of outrageous poo poo. Then he published his book and it was basically 'molestation: probably not so bad, actually!' Ah, the heady far off days of 1988. Edit: And a couple of years after I left in 1995, a maths teacher got done for secretly taking pictures of boys in the changing rooms. He also ran the school photography club

We had outdoor games at Guides stopped after one girl took her shoes off and stepped on broken glass. She had to go to hospital and get stitches, it was a proper nasty injury. I don't know why they didn't just ban going barefoot but who am I to question H&S regulations.

We only played it twice and then stopped after one girl got a concussion. We used to do that, but with a fairly large rubber ring sized inner tube on the end of the rope. It had plenty of kinetic energy so it could properly sweep your legs from underneath you if you timed it wrong. Also sometimes people got the schraeder valve stuck in them.
