Dolf, once again I humble myself for a smidgen of your encyclopaedic knowledge of British lore.

I was reading a story today about a young kid in England who dropped dead of a heart attack during "British Bulldog". His teachers pounded on his chest for 20 minutes and got his heart restarted.

Sooo....Qu'est-ce que c'est "British Bulldog"?

I presume it's not the rassler named British Bulldog.

Its a game kids play like Red Rover. A tag ("tag, you're it.") based game.

I used to play British Bulldog when in the Boy Scouts. It gets rougher as more people are caught and become 'Bulldogs'. It used to be a popular Scout game but about the time Scouts changed their age parameters it declined in popularity. Now that girls can (and do) join the Scouts, I would be surprised to see it played in its original form.

I did see a Girl Guide Troop play British Bulldog at the local town's Scout Jubilee celebrations in 1957. We older scouts wished we could have played with them. For teenage girls they were large, heavy and strong. To our Scout troop's enduring shame, that Girl Guide troop beat us at bridge building against the clock. Many of those Girl Guides were sisters of our Scouts, so we weren't allowed to forget our defeat.
