When i was younger travelling on a long car journey we used to play a game called `Beezer` quiet often .The first person in the car who spots a dog and shouts `Beezer` wins a point and the person with the most points at end of the journey will win the game of Beezer.Has anybody else played or heard of `Beezer` before or played other such games?

Mrs Londis occasionally gives me a BJ during a car journey. Bit risky when she's driving mind you.

when i was younger, we used to play a game where you would have to multiply the cars numbers overtaking you on a motorway. ie, old reg a123 abc would be 1x2x3 so that would be 6. got quite complicated when it was likt r587abc, but it was amazing how quick we used to be. used to pass 5 hr motorway journeys quickly. not like todays youth with ipods and in car dvds.
even today i can do complex maths in my head quickly, which amazes people |

I`ve Never heard of the multiplying one before but it don`t look like many people have heard of Beezer to.

When my daughters were young we used to play ' I-spy' in the car until they realised that I was always **ing with things like
'D.F.I.T.M.O.T.R. - F.M.B.' Dead fox in the middle of the road - five miles back. How we laughed. |

Supermarket game works.
You all pick a supermarket chain and get a point for each lorry spotted with its livery. Keeps the kids occupied for hours on the road. |

We used to play Pub Cricket.
The scoring was a point for each of the limbs in the pub's title. eg The Red Lion got 4 runs. If the next pub en route was the Stone Wall , youd be out because it had no limbs. Normal 10 wicket rules etc. We used to travel in my da's Austin A35 to Weymouth each year on holiday, and as I was 3 years older than my sister I used to remember the order in which the pubs appeared, therefore determining who would bat first !! |

The game `pub signs` was always a bit trickier .You would have to choose a pub name before the journey i.e `The Kings Head` and you get a point with every kings head pub you pass.Choosing a car colour was alot quicker game i.e If you choose blue you count all the blue cars that you see.

Carvoeiro - Pub Cricket still going strong here in Sussex, and to trips elsewhere. We implemented a max of 25 points for Hare & Hounds, Coach and Horses and the like, following a big argument shortly after passing the "Men of Kent". We have a rule that if the pub title is imprecise, we turn round and the legs on the sign rule!! Took us two days to get to Devon one year.
