Davy51 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 I say,i say,i say, learned brothers & sisters, does anyone remember the afternoon of April Fool's day becoming " Legging over Day" ? Was it a thing peculiar to Warrington or just to the school i went to ? Some friends i mentioned it to yesterday had never heard of it.

Observer II Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Thought "legging over" was up to midday ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Think it petered out in the early to mid seventies. Was seen to be unacceptable behaviour by the new wave of safety conscious thinkers, along with British bulldog and conkers. As far as i remember April fools pranks went on until noon after which anybody playing one was deemed the fool and legging over went on from noon until about four pm when the schools finished. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latchford Locks Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 British Bulldog was the main reason I joined Latchford Methodist Cubs .. Happy memories and a few scuffed knees at the time 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
