Generation Gap

[PhilTheFragger]

Can get a bit a physical, even violent, seen many a fight break out when playing it as a kid, are you & LP sure it wasn't Tig you played 😂😂

Why haven't you called it British Bullfog, that's it real name, or are we not allowed to anymore being all PC 🤔

Bullfog? Not heard of that one ( heck had a Foxy moment there)
This is the game where everybody is on one side of the hall with 1 person in the middle.
Everybody crosses to the other side of the hall and the bod in the middle has to capture someone and lift them off the floor, they then join the bod in the middle and team up.
Eventually you are left with the big kids who are hard to catch.

It was British Bulldog when I was a lad, but now it's just called bulldog, nothing anti British, just laziness I guess

Head down and run

There being nothing at all on the telly before teatime. And it going off again late at night. And nothing in colour.

Having to do sums in your head because there were no calculators.

Cars with starting handles.

Every league football match kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday.........nobody played football on a Sunday.

Watching Dad's Army, Steptoe & Son, Porridge etc first time round

As in comedy that didnt require smut, innuendo or gratuitous swearing to be funny?!

Wasnt old enough to see Porridge the first time round but its one of my favourites. Class comedy and writing.

TV went off at night after playing National Anthem.
Only came on again for "watch with mother" and schools programmes.
Came back on at 4 pm for children's tv. Followed by the News.
When not broadcasting programmes had test card.

First video games where made of white blocks that burnt your TV screens.
