| 801233 | 2009-08-15 07:53:00 | I used to enjoy our games of bullrush in primary school in the sixties, until they banned it. Part of the reason was the damage to clothes but this may have been simply the reason given to the kids at the time. Interestingly, we always knew it as barbardor, not as bullrush. This was in Chch. Did anyone else know it by this name? |

Did anyone else know it by this name? I enjoyed it in primary school in the late 90s/year 2000. Also in 3rd and 4th form in 01/02. At primary it was banned in my final year but we still played it, at secondary there were no issues with it to my knowledge. |

| 801240 | 2009-08-15 22:02:00 | In England we called it British Bulldog I'm sure it's the same game we used to play at scouts and occasionally school through the 70's | gary67 (56) | ||
