Quiz....so you's are really that bored?? ...........
Have we learnt nothing from the picture box....
"Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set And Go Out And Do Something Less Boring Instead?"
Various groups of kids called things like The Belfast Gang, The Birmingham Gang etc would arrive every school holidays to suggest things which might be less boring than watching TV.
So what was more exciting to a child living in a run down council estate than watching television? Football? Shoplifting? Setting fire to the local primary school? All good calls . But no! The children on Why Don't You . . .? honestly thought that making things out of sticky back plastic and old egg boxes was the best fun you could have without getting wet!
Anyway, the best answer to the question posed in the title was "because I am seven years old and it's the holidays and I can do what I like and you can't make me."
