Auld pram wheels and planks of wood pinched from a building site, to build a bogey.

Without the wee box bit that Wullies sitting in.

That’s nae a bogey.  That’s a cairtey 

A bogey’s a ramshackle trailer that gets towed by a tractor

Nah it was a bogey.  

Thinking back it's amazing that none of us ever got seriously hurt back then,  nowadays no one would let their weans out on one.

Talking of daft and dangerous things you'd do as a kid, building a rope swing. A length of rope tied round a bit of wood and you're sorted. Looking back there used to be a rope swing off the viaduct in Larkhall which is 175 foot high. Kids are daft b*****ds.

Did anyone else chuck stuff at cars? For some reason we went through a spell at primary school probably when we were 7/8 chucking sticks at care passing the school. Before anyone asks I never progressed to lumps of concrete off a motorway bridge.

Spoiler

It was a bridge too far

You used to get wee banger things which would explode when thrown at the ground.
Combine with mcdonalds straw and you had a mini grenade launcher. Seen someone fire one through a car window and hit some guy in the head.
It was our version of the end of star wars.
