Wetties? although they probably still do.

Getting toilet roll, making it wet enough that it will stick to pretty much anything and luzzing it around.

From the original list I think I only ever went for long walks over the downs as a kid, although we often combined this with picking wild blackberrys, gooseberrys and plums.

We also used to go rock pooling, although we only used to go for actual prawns that we would then take home to eat, would easily catch 50-100 in a couple of hours.

We had joy we had fun flicking bogies at the Sun

When the Sun got too hot all the bogies turned to snot

The unexpected surprise at finding a discarded porno mag in the woods, an alley etc. So easy for kids now that it's on the web, so dangerous also, don't envy youngsters nowadays.

Also, fond memories of exploring the old derelict cinema in Haywards Heath - very spooky.
