Rising Star
1. Never tore the paper for me, always left a big blue mark though
2. I don't think I ever travelled on a coach or bus at primary school
3. Never used magnetic alphabets, but did write boobies on a calculator
4. Damn right
5. Never seen that game, we used to play with games that were like little mazes with ball bearings
6. Spot on, iced rings are still my favourite and I have at least a packet a week
7. Yup
8. I don't think floaters were around when I was at school, I don't remember them
9. A little after my time
10. Also a little after my time
11. probably, don't remember many nose bleeds though
12. Nope, we didn't do that kind of thing, and what is "year six"? We did 2 years infant school, 4 years junior school, then 5 years senior school with an optional 6th year
13. Ours was epic
14. Hated the rope climb, could always get up, but always got stuck trying to get down
15. Oh the joy of woodwork and artwork
16. Nothing like that at our school that I remember
17. We didn't even have computers when I was at primary school (I'm assuming primary was the equivalent of the old junior school), and certainly didn't have pc's, BBC micro ftw
18. I had a plastic bag, it did the job
19. Never even tried a slush puppy until after I had left school, not even sure they were around before then
20. What are pogs? Airplane, racing car and boat trading card games were our thing
21. We wore plimsolls; trainers, pumps or whatever they call them weren't around when I was at school
22. Army & Navy were the sweet of choice for us
23. Ouch, some things never change
24. You lucky lucky £%"$!£%" we never had anything as safe as that
25. not sure what this one means, does it mean the condition of the rubber? if so yup I get that one, or is the no carved in it signifying a yes no game I don't know about?
26. ever had a book fair
27. OHP shadow puppets were awesome fun
28. I don't think I ever attended a school dance, at least I don't ever remember one even being held
29. Way after my time lol
30. I have been a victim of the capri sun straw, not at school though, I think the umbongo cartons were the closest thing we had
31. Sticky weed is universal

Most of these are way after my time and the school system changed so much shortly before (we were one of the first classes to do gcse's and had been studying for o-levels and cse's, there was no chance in hell we would do well :( ), but there are a few that are universally recognized by most age groups.
