Or ricepea shooter and pidgen peas was one of my favorites
I can remember forcing hawthorn berries down a bike pump and really building up the pressure. When the berry shot out it really stung especially if it hit exposed skin.I seem to remember sticking something ? in the end of a bike pump & the air pressure would shoot it out. Anyone remember those foil papers from ciggie packets that we used to shape & then toss them up to the ceiling where they would stick ?
Looks like a challenge to me. Warning, mine had 10 notches.
great stuff Viv i am not going to say i did buy one to play withI bought one from another shop (not sure which one, not Wilko) and it contained two in a set. I was worried about the size of the balls for small children so I changed the balls for ping pong balls. I bought them for my granddaughter, but we grown-ups get as much fun out of them ! Viv
Julie remembers selling these in Woollies, 1967 ish.
Our children had those! We ended up using pick pong balls. Not sure what was more annoying the balls all over the place or the clicking and clacking!
You spelt it correctly rosie:I had a bat-and-ball which mom called a biffbat, the ball was on a piece of rubbery string and it kept breaking. My brother had Jokari, not sure how to spell it, the ball was on a block of wood on the ground and needed two players with wooden bats a little larger than table tennis ones.
rosie.
I also had a spud gun and also had one of these cap rockets great fun.thats taken me back a few years mort...my brother had a spud gun

And even better than the metal rockets with rubber band. The rubber band always seemed to break!we used 2 bolts with a nut in between, lasted longer than the plastic rockets
