Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

What utter shits we were as children.

Imagine if we'd had pimped up ebikes/scooters....

We called it Cherry Knocking in Leicestershire.

"Knock door run" or "Knock door scat" in deepest darkest Cambridgeshire.

A single google result for "knock door scat" (if you put it in quotes).

the only forum I've ever used where people get so annoyed should the conversation slightly deviate.

But is their annoyance genuine, or is it performative because getting riled by a derail in the memes thread is one our favourite memes?

knock door scat

Isn't that the version with a flaming bag of dog shit?

Nope. It was more "scatter" than "scatological".

Since we’re now the Oxfordshire kids thread, it was knock and run in my village near Witney… I was thoroughly bemused by some of these other variants. That said I don’t really remember playing knock and run per se, but we definitely had a game of how many gardens you could trespass through without getting caught. Don’t think that had a name though.

My cousins grew up there; can confirm it was crappy.

So was Abingdon where I grew up. But we didn't call it cherry knocking round us, you weirdos

Don’t think that had a name though

Hedge hoping in Bristol

We do beg your pardon, but we are in your garden

Garden Derby in Yorkshire

We had a traditional night to do this stuff. Our Primary School Headmaster used to announce it in Assembly.
I think he might have been telling us not to do it but Ritalin wasn’t widely prescribed and I was already planning whose exhaust was getting a potato.

Hedge hopping here too

Moar memes please.

Childhood Reminiscence (‘When This Was All Fields’) aka Boring Old Fart Brain Farts thread?

Moar memes please

Knock down ginger is literally a meme

We called it Knick Knock Nanny where I come from (Oxford). I'd never heard of any other name for the "game" before t'internets. A quick google confirms I'm not the only one, seems to be an Oxford thing.

A lot of variation in Oxfordshire even within the Vale of the White Horse. Knock knock ginger in Watchfield/Shrivenham.

Agreed Abingdon called it what it was

Garden Derby in Yorkshire

Garden National - Hull. Fences and hedges you see.. One of the actual terraces we used to do it down. One on each side side then scarper up the middle and away.
