When I was 15ish me and my friends went through a phase of doing Ouija boards and also making eachother faint, it was a long summer :laugh:

[Marsh.]

You stand with your back against a wall and you take a few fast deep breathes and you get someone to push hard on your chest.........it's probably not good for you :/

Don't be silly, it's not a list of instructions, it's what the knock is called :idc:

[Me. I Am Salman]

[seanraff07]

Anyone used to play hot ass?

Basically just a football game, if you caught a shot in goals then everyone outfield had to line up and let the keeper hit 3 shots at their arses. You just kept playing it till your arses were complete agony.

[Me. I Am Salman]

there used to be a boy who was only SIX years old and would try to steal bikes from people and I think he had a knife too. we were only about 10 at the time and one of my mates beat him up and his thug parents went around the area looking for us. it was so scary

[Smithy]

[Jemal]

omg i thought you were like, 15 :worry:

Lool na. 20 this year.

Roof riding - we used to wind the front windows on the car down a bit, so you could grab on, climb on the roof face down, then be driven around the country lanes trying desperately to hang on. It's one of those things that I always cringe about now looking back, as it was so dangerous.

[Z]

It's Knock-A-Door run

It's Ding Dong Dash get it right

I got into loads of trouble stealing dust caps when I was 8/9. Especially because we used to go for the silver ones. It was all very organised though and there would always be one of us on lookout. We were only caught because one of the parents discovered the stash hidden in a domino box.

LT and his gang take the ferry to meet up with the Castlemilk Young Team to give them a right battering

[Ammi]

..climbed on garage roofs, built dens/hideouts..rode my bike, just whatever my brothers were doing, I would pester them and join in...

[Natalie.]

I did play knock door run once or twice but felt guilty :laugh: Loved staying out the lighter nights

[Marsh.]

We called it tap door run :suspect:

We called it Run away Knock :laugh:

no:nono:

chap-door runaway

Chap-Door-Runaway

It's Knock-A-Door run

It's Ding Dong Dash get it right

I did play knock door run

What is this rubbish? All weird names. :idc:

Knock and run is basically what it is. :pipe:

You stand with your back against a wall and you take a few fast deep breathes and you get someone to push hard on your chest.........it's probably not good for you :/

D: Sounds horrifying. :laugh:

[Z]

"knock door run" how literal do you want to be, what a rubbish name for it. At least Ding Dong Dash is a bit clever and has the added bonus of having Dong in the name, therefore making it a big saucy for a kid's game

[Marsh.]

Ding Dong Dash sounds like rape tbh. :idc:

[Z]

Still more exciting than "knock and run", like the wet blanket version of hit and run :idc:

[Jessica.]

It's called knock-a-dolly where I live :umm2: Never questioned the name until now.

[Marsh.]

Round here that's called granny bashing.

[Jemal]

Its knock down ginger lol..

[Me. I Am Salman]

PREACH

[Me. I Am Salman]

"The name Knock down Ginger or Knocky Door Ginger, used in Britain, comes from a piece of British doggerel:

Ginger, Ginger broke a winder
Hit the winda - Crack!
The baker came out to give 'im a clout.
And landed on his back."

none of your silly variations have historical origins

[Samm]

Run or Break a leg

Basically you used to run across a filed and if you didn't get across in 5 sec then the people who where hit had to try and push you over on the grass, Only like three people broke something tbh it was banned after 2 years

[lily.]

Chap-Door-Runaway

That was when we nearer 10 though, nearer 15 we used to drink and smoke and do other bad things..

Same... except it was called chappy.

Oh we also had Empties or Bail In's (empty house because someones parents were away)

Also same...

[Smithy]

It's Knock-A-Door run

Correct

Everyone else is wrong

Going up chimneys and giving them a sweep was all the rage in my day.

oh yeah this, i think we called it bulldog and it got banned too ;(

[Vicky.]

The knocking on doors thing is called 'knocky knocky nine doors' here. Has a nice ring to it :D

[MTVN]

Bulldog was class, except one bloke always had his steel toe cap boots and would just launch kicks at everyone

Never did anything that bad really, did go through a bit of a shoplifting phase at one point which swiftly ended when I got caught one time, even though I did manage to blag my way out of it on that occasion

[mizzy25]

The knocking on doors and running away we called it knocky nine doors. We played rounders a lot, hide and seek, squash against the side of peoples houses. There was about 12 of us all knocked about together happy days. We were always outside in the summer. Then we got a bit older and started watching tv, wed night was @ mine for coronation street and dallas, thurs was @ susies for top of the pops and fame.

[mizzy25]

We all smoked and stole from the corner shop for dares. I got banned for nicking a bar of chocolate a gold cup, which I never even nicked lol

[Niamh.]

we used to dare eachother to go into the shop and ask for weird stuff like cabbage flavoured ice cream or 20 Benson and Hedgehogs, we thought it was hilarious

[MTVN]

Used to have a trampy fella who lived in our village in a caravan for a while as well, we quite enjoyed tormenting him but he was a genuine nob so it was alright, started lobbing snowballs at his caravan one time and he came out chasing us saying he used to be in the Hong Kong police force and he could do us for assault

[Sophiee]

only knock-and-run really, never got up to anything else bad.

[lily.]

It's Ding Dong Dash get it right

Greg, cos you grew up in a posh neighbourhood yours was called ding-dong-dash. Down where I live, we were too poor to afford doorbells, so there was no ding donging for us..

It was entirely justified, this bloke had nicked our family wheelbarrow a few weeks before and had a reputation for petty theft

Vigilante justice you could say

We fell out with the neighbours 4 doors down and they set fire to our wheelie bin.

There's still melted plastic and scorch marks on the pavement just outside the garden.

all the residents that lived in this GRIM building in my area were moved out in like 2003, but a bunch of polish people came out of nowhere two years later and squatted n used to sunbathe behind it during the day. I just remember that entire year consisted of us sneaking behind the building and throwing water balloons at them, it was so fun <3

there was also a rumour of a pedophile living there

that building doesn't exist anymore though it was demolished in 2009.

[Livia]

it's knock down ginger :nono:

Quite right Salman... good London lad that you are.

:joker: I'm not even sure why we called it that seeing as we definitely didn't have a doorbell on our house when I was a kid, think it was just what we called it round here. Aw I miss those days, all the kids that lived on my street moved away when I was still in primary school and we just never stayed in touch. Have most of them on Facebook now but obviously we have nothing in common anymore.
