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]

Our school banned it because it was a juniors+infants school with one playground; the juniors would play and the infants would get in the way, basically ;-). If it had been just juniors, they may well have let us carry on.
