Hell, that's a fancy playground, we had nothing like that, may have had a footie pitch or netball court marked out but anything else was done by us with chalk.

We didn't even have those Metal climbing frame over a concrete base, and a nice incline down which we used to race playing British Bulldog, to then trip and skid along the floor grazing both knees and elbows Loved those days

If you really want to maintain your aura of the "hard done by Victim" you need to A) stop being the Troll you label others as.
& B) Stay on topic by not responding.

So why not try it now before as stated we run out of Popcorn, here's a start for you:
Well you know you're in Australia when.................
The Drop Bears get blamed for stealing the last tinny at the BBQ.
