Speaker 3: ran at each other.

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: So there's a group of kids down one end, group

Speaker 1: Old plastic footies, remember the plastic footage?

18
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,680

00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: have slammed a head a teacher in a British school

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: for banning contact games like tag. They instead have to

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: play games with quote gentle hands because last term they

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,320

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,839

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: deep breathing, stand up quickly and to force yourself to faint.

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,680

Speaker 2: you get an enormous piece of elastic that's sewn together.

46
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: So it's this big circle of elastic and some girls

47
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: would stand in it, the others had to jump on

48
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: it and you'd start at your ankles, then it comes

49
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: to your waist. Then you'd be wearing it tightly around

50
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,880
