AlimOzturk Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Anyone else remember using this when they were younger? Use to think we were cool and doing something the teachers couldn't understand our plots and schemes. Only until later we found out the majority of teachers did the same when they were at school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I do recall this but can't remember ever using it. I did go to Sciennes Primary however, so we wouldn't tolerate that sort of thing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norm Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 British Bulldogs got banned at our school. Followed by Spanish Spaniels and then German Shepherds. Turns out, just changing the name of the game wasn't enough to fool our teachers. Who'd have thought it? Other games to be banned included conkers, after a couple of kids got wrapped on the nuckles with a sixer, marbles, after a couple of windows got tanned by a stray cats eye, and pitchy, because apparently gambling isn't appropriate for 9 year olds.

Pitchy was popular game at my primary. By P7 our teachers bought 7a and 7b a football to stop us fighting (well everything else was banned).
