British Bulldog

This is the game where lots of children line up in two lines, then a child from one team runs at the other line with an aim to breaking it. If you break through the line, then you rejoin your team, and your team gets another go. If the line holds firm, you join the other team, and it's their go. Many schools have banned this, and had when we were at school, but I think from anecdotal evidence that it was mainly C of E/other protestant schools that did this, whereas RC schools still allow the game. So, a test:[Poll #271314]

State school, don't remember a game like that though. The main informal violent-ish game that I remember involved people standing against a wall and trying to dodge as other people threw a ball at the wall (there was more to it than that but I forget the details). They made us play Rugby, too.

Ah, I vaguely remember something like that.
