What time we're you allowed to play out til...

[ono]

On a weekend and on a school night.

What games did you play in the street/estate? And what were your best playing out shoes?

Ours were footy (heads and volleys, cuppy/wembley etc) and 40-40/40 bunks (teenage version of hide and seek) and Fox and Hounds, where the foxes each had a letter each that made up a word. The hound had to catch them and basically extort the letter out of them. Good game, attracted a lot of local bullies though.

I was allowed out til 11 on a weekend and 10 on a school night, providing 'everyone elese was out'

My best playing out shoes were some Umbro 5v5's. Great for footy, and good grip for climbing fences/trees etc...

We played football (american), baseball, hide-n-seek, freezetag, and whatever else we could think of. Usually we stayed out until dark and my mom and dad usually made me go outside from dusk till down!

I had a mate who died playing kirby on a main road, on his sisters birthday aswell.

Generally speaking though, kirby was quite decent fun. It was better with a basketball, especially because the extra bounce/rebound resulted in a lot of bust noses. Sweet.

Kick can kettle was our main one. Basically involved belting a football or some kickable object as far as you could up our street. The person that was "on" legged it and when it was back on the spot he could go looking for you. Aim of the game return to the kick spot without being caught.

Another classic was garden hopping. We had a cul-desac on our street and the ones who made it round all the back gardens of the cul-de-sac and back onto the main street were champions!

As for what times we were aloud out till....cant remember on school nights but weekends was till mam and dad were in bed!

Reebok Classics were the trainers for the cool kids back in the day round our end!
