But all the other stuff, conkers, tickling trout, bird nesting, hedge hopping, rat tat ginger and a dozen other things, that we all did very regularly. As has been mentioned, kids these days, seem absolutely clueless, and what's worse, is the fact that they don't even realise it, or when you try explaining what we did, you get 'well that's pointless.' Does my head in. Same here mate though we used to make what we called bobby arrows an arrow with usually a throwing dart stuck in the end then throw it up in the air by way of a lenth of string no end of times some one would end up with one stuck in there head. I remember years ago working for a big private house building company and the site manager when he got stressed would go and fly a kite in his dinner break as per he used to get the piss took out of him but thinking about it it did the trick for him and helped him deal with the stress of work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
