  1. Sitting on a wooden floor singing “cauliflowers fluffy”

  2. Did you go to the same school as me!!! I think I sat next to you 🤣🤣

  3. Was “the apparatus” that wooden climbing frame thing that was folded away against one wall in the assembly hall of every primary school that got used maybe once or twice in a kid’s whole time at the school?

  4. Time standing still on the day of breakup for summer holidays.

  5. Give me oil in my lamp keep me burninggggg 🎵😂

    Conkers! I’m collecting conkers! 🎵

    We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun 🎵

  6. A few more:

    Cross country, saved for the very coldest days

    Parsnips, disguised as chips

    The school office and taking the register there after form

    French

    Bunsen burners

  7. Pepsi pencil case used to hit hard. 🤣🤣🤣

  8. Meatballs at school were a different entity, you could never replicate them outside of school. I don’t care what anyone says, school meatballs were heaven. Also semolina, never saw that outside of school.

  9. Lunch boxes used to be boss as well before Jamie Oliver ruined it for everyone.

    Bottle of Sunny D, handful of Pringles in one of those Pringle shaped holders that you could get in all sorts of colours, some even with sparkle on them, a rocky bar and a pack of Bn Bns

  10. im not british but many of them are very relatable for me

  11. No-one mentioned ‘kiss chase’ and ‘British bulldog’ yet?

  12. Wow reading that takes me back nigh on 50 years……..I remember every one of those ……..👌

  13. The smell of the wooden floor in the assembly hall

  14. A pencil case full of pencils with broken leads because you play drums on the edge of the desk.

  15. The television which was wheeled in and was in a cabinet was another one for me.

  16. “To be a pillock” extra loud when signing the “to be a pilgrim” bit out of the hymn “he who would valiant be”

  17. Read the list, sang the fifth item! And I’m sure I’m not the only one!

  18. I cannot relate to copying homework on the bus. Maybe for secondary school but absolutely no way for primary. Don’t even think my primary had a bus service, does any primary?

  19. My best childhood memory was living in a world without shite facebook memes like the above.

  20. Mitre mouldmaster on cold thighs
    Wembley trophy size 4 blowing away

  21. Running EVERYWHERE. (often with coat on and arms up, holding the bottom of the coat)

  22. He’s got the whole world in his hands

    Arctic roll and chocolate sponge (the best puddings)

    Cricket

    Wet play time (definitely doesn’t sound dodgy)

    Finishing the work early and getting to just practice drawing

    Goosebumps books

  23. Our school severed fish cakes that had luminous orange breadcrumb on the outside and gray fishy mush inside.

  24. Catching medicine balls in p.e. Swarming up ropes in the school hall. Duffle bags . Spelling ‘shell oil’ on your brand new calculator.😁

  25. The slop bucket in the canteen. I couldn’t go within 5ft of it without wanting to gag.

  26. Rubbers with a useable “pencil” end and an “ink” end, that was essentially like sandpaper and didn’t rub out ink but trashed the paper.

  27. The caretaker and the sawdust bucket.

    Jerusalem on St George’s day.

    5 GOOOLLLDDD RINGS and a rush to the Partridge in a pear tree.

    Happy days, ruined by going to high school.
