Oh yes, me too, Also Champion the Wonder Horse, The Lone ranger, and, on the wireless, Dick Barton Special Agent with his sidekick Snowy.

All the Enid Blyton books and story time at school on Friday afternoons in top class.

The Faraway Tree - The Magic Wishing Chair. Famous Five and Secret Seven and then the boarding school series like Mallory Towers.

Lizzie Dripping - the girl who saw a witch in a cemetary.

Playing rounders at school and out on the street at home.

Sports day in Junior and Infant school ... egg and spoon race - three legged race, sack race and the wheelbarrow race.

Saver strips for bus rides that you punched in a machine on the bus and they forever became known as a "kerching"

Hammer House of Horror on Saturday nights.

Hockey boots - frozen pitches, knees and fingers and then a communal walk through shower at school and the sports teacher was always a lesbian.

Sleeping in the boot part of the car on a blanket with the dog.

Flourescent ankle socks that got banned at school.

Vomit inducing tapioca, semolina and rice pudding. Even the dollop of strawberry jam never improved the taste or texture. Nicknames for the same school puddings ........ wallpaper paste and frog spawn.

There was always a lad in school who loved the skin of the custard at dinners. Yuk Yuk Yuk

Not the male ones though.

Tunnel Ball.

Mint custard was the only one that was lump free.

Whats Tunnel Ball?.....We had Hand Ball

Believe me the cooks we had at school could turn anything lumpy : Custard,gravy and even mashed potato. Good job they were never allowed to serve hot drinks.
How did they manage to make cabbage so mushy with the smell of Baldric,s armpits?

Armchair Thriller........that TV programme used to frighten me to flippin' death before I went to bed!

Getting your friend from A to B by riding them on the cross bar of your bike (we called it "giving a croggie")

School song about school dinner puddings

"Semolina Pudding, Dead Dogs Eyes, all mixed up with snot and bogey pies, mix it, stir it, til it's very thick,. and then swallow it down with a cup of cold sick...."

Oh God .... I feel quite sick !

I hated the girls that would hold hands with the dinner ladies during diner break
i remember one day in secondary school at dinner time when the noise level had exceded that of a Concorde, the headmaster stood up and thumped the table and shouted for quiet at the top of his voice..." its so loud i cant here my self think" and of course some namless wag responded with "stop thinking then you old fart", we were then held to detention for the whole dinner break in silence,coz no one was going to snitch on me,,ooops the culprit we wernt even allowed to eat our dinners

ps. i loved the skin of the custerd

Team of eight, maybe, each one about a yard behind the one in front. Seven spread their legs or should I stay stand with feet apart. The one in front has to roll the ball between his/her legs and the seven behind guide the ball down the tunnel.

The one at the back picks it up and runs to the front (while the rest step back) and rolls it down the tunnel again. Each has to do it once to complete the race.

At my junior school it was standard along with sack race, egg and spoon, wheelbarrow and 3-legged race.
