Coming soon to the USA... the ultimate nanny state...

It'll never be as bad as in the UK.

Kids not allowed to play conkers - or climb trees to get them, no chasing
a round cheese down a hill contests, no jumble sales in case the village
hall burns down.

The list is inexhaustible.

They still jump, they just don't use the rope, you see if little Mary or
Billy catch
the rope with a foot as it goes round it could hurt there self esteem.
