Er no.  Is that some strange Norfolk custom.

No
No
Yes.

Can't say i ever had a petticoat, but i had a vest.

[CLKD]

What! no liberty bodice?

[Joaniepat]

Yes to daisy chains. I wore a liberty bodice when very small in the early 50s but don't remember much about it, except that it had a lot of buttons down the front. No maypoles in the inner city that I knew of! As to Petticoat Day, I'm with Shadyglade on that one.

Oh yes Maypole dancing remember doing that at school, even doing the Maypole at the local fete.
Used to love making daisy chains - haven't made one in years.

[Taz2]

Children in the school where I work make countless daisy chains at break and lunch. They also still play the 'do you like butter' game with buttercups.

Maypole dancing still takes place in some schools but we don't have one at ours.

Lifting skirts - either those belonging to boys or girls - would lead to a serious conversation with the head teacher nowadays.

Anyone remember lads lifting uniform skirts in school?

When I was a young teacher in the mid 70s, we had a spate of little boys lifting the little girls? skirts in my reception class. We were rather alarmed, until I carefully questioned a little boy. They just wanted to see the pictures on the little girls knickers. Remember when knickers were nylon and they first started printing pictures on them ? It was all so innocent!

toilets 'across the yard' ............ which was skiddy with ice and snow 'cos we had Proper Winters then 

[CLKD]

That wouldn't be possible in the Primary School that I attended as the block really was 'across the yard' ........ at least they flushed!
