We played a lot of pencil and paper games - hangman, consequences, battleships.... most of them now come with plastic bits, not nearly such fun as drawing your own.

Redman, last year i visited my friend up north and he had a gollywog...it caused a major argument with his Nigerian friend..no offence was intended though...

I loved barbies, cars and adored colouring books and crayons and lego..you never see kids with these things now.

kick the can, we used to place an empty can on a brick as I recall then kick it as far as we could, the others would hide so the further you kicked it the better
ir was a bit like hide and seek with violence..lol
