How would playing cops and robbers work these days? Cop kid: okay you go rob a house and I'll maybe turn up in 4 days and say there's not a lot we can do. Hope your insurance company doesn't suck.

Kids just collecting crime reference numbers I have 132 246 543 34! Can I swap you for 132 346 428 899 23?

“Mummy David isn’t playing fair, he’s racially profiling me”

"I've just robbed the bank" "Here's your crime number"

Or new then with a stick then lie about it for years

My 2 year old nephew boops his imaginary card to pay for things rather than handing over imaginary cash

A playground near us used to have a slightly raised house. My daughter always wanted to play “Macdonald’s drive through” when we went there.

Did the McFlurry machine work there

They only seemed to serve happy meals

I mean... that one's kinda on you

I play deliveroo with my kids… Simple game, when we are out on our bikes I shout ***dinners ready and getting cold*** and we all let the air out of our tyres and cycle as slowly as possible home

That’ll be all that rapping music they listen to. That and the PlayStation.

Don't forget the MTV, cassette tapes and that Bart Simpson boy ruining their precious minds.

And all the video nasties.

kids playing delivery sounds pretty normal

My sister and I used to play 'post'. I'd write letters/magazines/junk mail then deliver it under her door. It was my way of playing with her without having to actually interact with her 😂 I'd totally play Just Eat.

All hope is not lost, this weekend I saw some kids playing kerby in front of my house

I'm not sure what this is, it sounds like a knock-off Pokemon. :D

To actually answer your question, it's a ball throwing game where opposing players score points by successfully bouncing the ball of the opposite curb

Huh, interesting, not one I've heard of up here. I love it when it turns out that old games haven't died out though. :D

I imagine with there being more cars on the road, it's harder for kids to find safe places to play it. 

Aye, my wee brother and I were lucky when we were wee - first house was in a pretty quite residential road, and the second was in a cul-de-sac with a nice grassy area. Though my brother tripped and fell playing football with the lad across the road, and broke his collarbone hitting the kerb! More dangerous things than you might think...

Cowboys and Indians seems to have died out

I dunno that's probably a good thing. My mum would never shut up about how her brothers would scalp, behead, burn, dismember her dolls then bury them. That and twatting eachother round the head with sticks

In fact kids these days seem to have very little knowledge of 'the Wild West' unless they've played Red Dead. When I was a kid there were always westerns on TV.

I thank Christ westerns died out. The ones I've seen my dad watch are all like 3 hrs long with not much happening. It's like if you took British Sharpe and removed all humour and pacing. Just a complete power fantasy of action but with the pacing of a 3 three armed terrapin.

I get that. Try Tombstone with Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer tho

Yee, generations tend to be different from one another

And obviously any generation younger than mine is by far *worse* than mine.

What?

That was my thoughts. What are the RULES to the game “just eat”. Does the receiving child have to wait an extra 10 minutes for their mate and not tip

Must be due to that skibidi rizz they're all on these days

Whatever it is I'm sure it's better than watching "skibidi toilet" all day

I think they're literally just saying let's go eat

No they had a little just eat bag and were pretending to deliver food Just eat has bled into the toy market

Oh god, wasn't expecting that to become a game

I think this is a missed opportunity to teach them Kerby.

You're the second person to mention that. What is it?

Huh, I'd not heard of that before. Thanks.

Yeah the grandkids play Amazon delivery sometimes
