What was popular when you were at school?

[BBassic]

Pogs. They were awesome. Then I found Championship Manager and the rest is a bit of a blur.

 

[Paris]

Benny on the loose

What did that entail? Sounds like some sort of gay witch-hunt

Oh! The 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books were pretty big too.

 

[The Modfather]

Action Man

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Care Bears.

Whatever happened to them?

 

[SeagullSongs]

Pokémon cards, Yu-gi-oh cards and those rubber wristbands that charities sell nowadays. The number of wristbands you were wearing was directly proportional to how cool you were. I had about 20 on at any given time

 

[skipper734]

The Beano and Wagon Wheels.

In an asexual way, Rick Ashley was universally popular at my primary school, equally with boys and girls.

 

[brightonmark1234]

pogs and football stickers and conkers or you just played football at break time and lunch time break for me

 

[Kazenga <3]

Pokémon cards until the school banned them (older kids mugging off the younger years at break by giving them shit trades).

Beyblades were also big at one stage and then Tamagotchis.

I remember those wristbands. Won a £10 bid for a special Tsunami relief one on eBay and was ecstatic

Varied through the years.

Stamps.
Trump cards.
Anything Adidas.

Soft porn mags ... Penthouse, Forum. Pinched by a paper boy from his newsagent employer, and traded from his Adidas bag.

Where do you want me to begin.

An England match was an international not a friendly
It wasn't racist to have a blackboard
We all wanted to be on jim"ll fix it
If you were naughty you got a whack
We respected our parents
Footballs hurt when they hit you
We were aloud to play in the street
Jimmy saville was still getting away with it
If it snowed we still went to school
The school bully would always backdown when confronted
