Do kids still walk round the playground in a line with arms outstretched chanting that? It was like a snowball reaching critical mass, starting with two lads, then a few more, then more still, before every lad in the yard had joined on for fear of being left out. Peer pressure in action!

Also join on for:

Cops and robbers
Cowboys and indians

Armies was always the best though, it scans better.

We used to do that at "playtime" at Lister Street, problem was, by the time we had enough kids, the bell used to ring to go back to class!
And when i say bell, it wasnt an automatic thing, the teacher used to walk into the playground and ring it! Happy days clap clap clap

Japs And Commmandoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
