Adieu and farewell to "tiggy lampost"

A Lincolnshire school has banned physical playground games because pupils were copying violent computer games, making playtime "too rough". FFS!! If I didn't come home from school with a grazed knee or a couple of "war wounds" there would be something wrong. What ever happened to British Bulldog or my own personal favourite during the miners' strike in the 1980s, Pickets or Police. The rules were simple: you were either a picketer or a rozzer. Two distinct and opposing groups thus formed, and would set about kicking the shit out of each other. End of.


The ban at St John's Primary at Bracebridge Heath near Lincoln involves contact playground games like "tag" and "kiss chase" - how the frig is kiss chase violent?!! What kind of pupils do they have in Lincoln eh; clones of Peter Sutcliffe!?!


You can't wrap the little mites in cotton wool!! I weep for the future, I really do. We are gonna turn into a nation of cowards if we're not careful. We may as well all live here:-
