Impressed.

Don't be.  She means she can reach the headboard when she's lying down in bed.

[klondike]

Still better than me 

[Scrumpy]

Dressing up, Yes, handstands, yes - can still do that, Cartwheels, no, never had the hang of those, - but what on earth are the 'bumps'?

Handstands!!!!! Well done Tabby.. 

 I can stand on one leg.. Put my legs in my jeans without leaning up against anything..
I can't jive anymore.. I come over all dizzy.. and forget which way I am meant to be facing..

[Silver Tabby]

The bumps involve lying flat, then being held by the arms and legs and thrown up and down the same number of times as your age.

Good grief - I think I'll give that one a miss!

And on't be.  She means she can reach the headboard when she's lying down in bed.

And you said you wouldn't tell my bedroom secrets!

Oh, how unladylike!  Your skirt will drop down over your head and show everything off to the world. 😳

Standing on the platform of a double decker bus..
Jumping off before the next stop..

I tried jumping on a moving bus, got a dislocated wrist for my trouble! It was miving faster than I thought 😊

Oh, how unladylike!  Your skirt will drop down over your head and show everything off to the world. 😳

Don't be silly - I tuck my skirt into my knickers!

[klondike]

I was an inveterate bus jumper both on and off. They spoil all the fun these days.

Don't be silly - I tuck my skirt into my knickers!

😂  No problem.  Most blokes would be happy to look at your legs anyway!

Yes, I used to do that quite a lot, in the old days of course, but you had to be careful not to risk it until it was going slow enough.

[Scrumpy]

We used to jump off at traffic lights.. as the bus was slowing down..
The conductor never stopped us..

.. and cross the road between the cars..

[dextrous63]

Anyone remember being able to open windows on trains, including the tube?

[Scrumpy]

... and sticking your head out...
