Possibly exhausted from debating every conceivable angle of the EU referendum, Twitter has today decided to take a little trip down memory lane.

#GrowingUpBritish trended on Sunday as people regaled each other with quintessential tidbits from their childhoods.

One of the most popular was a tribute to a stalwart of the school hall.

There was literally nothing as thrilling as a dog getting into the playground.#GrowingUpBritish
