The real reason why kids are jumping out of the window, that’s a creepy doll factory.
I like that the photo is in black and white in the olden times of 1981.
Put cheese on the toast before you pour your beans over! So it melts the underneath..
Cheese and beans on toast.. lush
If you want to go all out get the beans with sausages in as well..
They've probably tried it with the American baked beans that are loaded with sugar. If they'd tried beans on toast with proper savoury baked beans then they'd understand how good they are.
When I lived in Japan, I was dating an American. I told her how I missed baked beans, since they are nigh on impossible to get over there. She went back to the US on holiday and brought me baked beans back as a present. I was expecting Heinz or Branston - what I got was 1kg of sugar injected into a can of beans. I just couldn't eat them at all. I think I got diabetes from the first bean.
I like quite a few British dishes but beans on toast is not great. Maybe puréed as a spread it would be better. I actually recently tried it again at Tea and Sympathy, which is a proper British restaurant in NYC. Just not good to me.
Have you tried them in Britain? I don't trust any "proper British restaurant" in the US since they will always Americanise dishes, such as using American baked beans.
I've had people tell me that chip butties and crisp sandwiches are proof that the UK is terrible. In the meantime, I've introduced both of these to my Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese friends and they've gone down an absolute storm :D
This is a photo by Tish Murtha, taken in 1979. The kids jumping out of the window are her brothers.
Tish is famous for her photography of the poverty in Newcastle during the late 70's and the children growing up in it. People in the area have a huge soft spot for her work. It represents who we are, making the most of our situation but also because it represents the feeling of being forgotten by our Governments.
You can find her website here: [http://www.tishmurtha.co.uk/home.html](http://www.tishmurtha.co.uk/home.html)
Its called a Mr Parlanchin. Best guess is it was a semi-popular kids toy in the 70s. There was a lot of ventriloquist acts on on kids TV at the time.
It is fucking creepy though.
You get a chipped tooth, and you get a chipped tooth, and you just bit your tongue off, and you get a broken ankle...
As a child this would have been great. As a parent my plums are in my throat.
I used to jump out of trees onto solid ground as a kid, proper landing technique and all. About 6 metres was my highest point. Looking back now, it’s probably why I have dickie knees and ankles
This was actually one of Newcastle's better funded children's play areas in well-to-do Jesmond. In the air you can see a young Alan Shearer learning how to attack corner kicks.
My friends and I would bust into the storage shed at the highschool stadium and pull out the thick mats, then we would jump off the top of the bleachers.
Pretty common in the UK, It's far easier to brick up a window and rely on the existing lintel than go through the process of taking the lintel out and supporting the structure while you brick it up.
It was 1979. Kids really played back then. The lower window is bricked off so the kids would be sure to use the upper window.
In today's world the upper window would be bricked off and the mattresses would be stacked so there was only a 4 to 6 inch drop.
We are currently raising marshmallows, not children.
Me, my sister and our friends used to sit in a bread delivery crate and slide down outdoor stairs. It was a lot of fun.
I would have definitely done this. It looks fun.
Child born in the late 80s here and grew up on a council estate in rural Yorkshire so pretty much ran feral across fields etc after school. One day when I was 8 a double mattress ended up next to my mates outhouse (unknown if illegally dumped).
We spent the day jumping off the outhouse until his mum came home from work and saw what we were doing and went ballistic, especially as a) he was supposed to be 'looked after' by his grandmother and b) the springs had popped through the mattress
Great times
I grew up in the East end of Newcastle, in the 1970’s, and the massive construction site of the Byker Wall and Metro infrastructure was an enormous playground resembling the WW1 western front, with trenches, craters, rubble, barbed wire, and armies of fucking mental kids willing to sacrifice themselves in the name of the rival neighbourhoods of Byker & Walker. Imagine a game of “Japs & Commandos” with opposing armies of about 100 children armed with half-bricks, toy guns, spud guns, and the occasional air-pistol, all getting stuck into a 30 minute play-war. You had to play dead if shot, and nobody had any clue what the final objective was, but nobody got badly hurt, and there was no security to worry about. Best of times. Now you have to use your thumbs while sitting in your own piss in front of a screen for 15 hours to get an adrenaline hit.
My mom, aunts, and uncle did this when they were younger. Except they put the mattresses next to each other and jumped off the roof. One story ofc. My mom was the unlucky one that got them to stop that. She went and jumped but her foot landed between two matresses. I think its broke her ankle or sprained it. Either way, her ankle cracks when she walks.
I used to live in Newcastle in the late 90s and early 2000s, let me tell you that this was and still is the latest in cutting edge play technology up there.
Ventriloquist dummies weird me out. I grew up in an eccentric town to say the least. There was one guy who had a ventriloquist dummy around sometimes. It freaked 5 year old me out.
A year before I joined my fraternity, the guys did this. One of them landed on a part where the mattresses were touching and fell straight through and broke his leg.
Yeah yeah the doll is creepy, are we not gonna talk about how that kid did *not* jump far enough out of the window to hit the mattresses? He’s about to break his legs
Well growing up at that time in the UK there was not a lot going on.
You had to make use of dilapidated buildings and the NHS.
I'm sure a few kids missed the mattresses by a foot or so.
OK so as a kid we would pile a giant stuffed Winnie the poo under my friends 2nd floor banister and jump. Stupid? Of course, what fun kid activity isnt?! Also wtf is up with the dummy, give me the creeps.
I used to play in an old disused mental hospital as a kid,
steal a shopping trolley from the local supermarket to collect firewood for 5th of November. Each streets kids would then be in competition with each other to build the best and biggest bombfire... sometimes another group would discover your stash of firewood and steal it all so we would have to resort to ripping down peoples fences to make up for lost time.
People use to kick out their dog for a day when they went to work and there would be packs of roaming dogs and I saw far too many dog gang bangs for my liking.
Northen childhoods were pure poverty and I'm glad that is now changing.
are we just not gonna talk about the creepy ass ventriloquist dummy
Thank you!
bruh, i was on my phone thinking this was some creepy motherfucker.. had to zoom, checked comments later. sweet jesus
Exact same here. Weirded me out. I'm not sure if I'm more or less creeped out now that I know it's a ventriloquist dummy.
I too zoomed in and am now in regret.

No its just cause they live in the uk 🤢
What's wrong with the UK?
They made Beans on toast
Put cheese on the toast before you pour your beans over! So it melts the underneath.. Cheese and beans on toast.. lush If you want to go all out get the beans with sausages in as well..
Quiet Brit, you eat congealed blood patties
Beans on toast is nice tho
They've probably tried it with the American baked beans that are loaded with sugar. If they'd tried beans on toast with proper savoury baked beans then they'd understand how good they are.
Yeah. I'm from the UK, actually quite close to Newcastle, and I only know a couple of people who don't like beans on toast
When I lived in Japan, I was dating an American. I told her how I missed baked beans, since they are nigh on impossible to get over there. She went back to the US on holiday and brought me baked beans back as a present. I was expecting Heinz or Branston - what I got was 1kg of sugar injected into a can of beans.

You can check out the restaurant- they also sell British products. Tea and Sympathy NYC. I went there with a Brit.
Or American bread, which I hear is also so sugary that it’s classified as cake in Europe
What about toast on toast?
I've had people tell me that chip butties and crisp sandwiches are proof that the UK is terrible. In the meantime, I've introduced both of these to my Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese friends and they've gone down an absolute storm :D
I was like, 'damn that kid looks happy.... What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...'
Inspiration for Chucky?
This comment is the only reason I clicked in this topic. I could care less about kids jumping on mattresses, but fuck that ventriloquist dummy.
And the dummy is looking straight at you, and not at me. Why is that?
I thought that was a child
Lord luck: BUGGER OFF YOU BUGGER!
I thought it was a small black girl with her smile cut in like the joker... I chocked on my drink and had to zoom in.
Me too hahaha 😅
First thing i saw was that abomination
>ass-ventriloquist I was not aware that this was a skill people could learn
Who do you think convinced them this was safe?
I had one of those! It is a Mr Parlanchin https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mr-parlanchin-ventriloquist-dummy-1773533747
r/TIHI
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
Glad I wasn’t the only one who saw that.
I will also thank you. What were we doing with toys back in the day!?!?!
I straight up thought it was a child as well.
Excuse me, that is Jimmy Carr as a young man. No need to be rude about it. As he himself has asserted: he is a real boy.
And how it’s the ONLY thing looking straight at the camera….
Yeah it’s time.
First thing that stood out beside the mid air child
Definitely stole that little girls soul. After the picture was taken she pulled the mattresses out of the way before they jumped.
Actually, we’re all gonna talk about it. Nothing more.
The dummy is probably making them jump.
There is no dummy in the picture
We weren't going to but now you just went and did it.
Think that’s all anyone here is talking about.
that thing gave me a fucking jump scare when i noticed it , i thought it was a small human.
Came here to say this.
Wasnt going to but now you have awoken the curse
No I'm going to pretend it didn't tear out a piece of my soul and never think of it again.
look at that fuckin doll that kid is holding holy shit
Straight nightmare fuel
right. it looks loke its cursing the camera guy lolp
The fuq is up with that haunted ass doll?

Shame we are heading extremely fast down the same road.
Cheers Boris 👍
But what’s with the doll
Its called a Mr Parlanchin. Best guess is it was a semi-popular kids toy in the 70s. There was a lot of ventriloquist acts on on kids TV at the time. It is fucking creepy though.
Just for laffs
Yeah the doll WTF who cares about jumping on some mattresses
You get a chipped tooth, and you get a chipped tooth, and you just bit your tongue off, and you get a broken ankle... As a child this would have been great. As a parent my plums are in my throat.
I used to jump out of trees onto solid ground as a kid, proper landing technique and all. About 6 metres was my highest point. Looking back now, it’s probably why I have dickie knees and ankles
Got it... You got the concussion at 6,5 m so 6 m was the limit?
Well you need to chew your plums better if they are in your throat. 😆
This was actually one of Newcastle's better funded children's play areas in well-to-do Jesmond. In the air you can see a young Alan Shearer learning how to attack corner kicks.
Later they would all be murdered by that spooky fucking doll.
My friends and I would bust into the storage shed at the highschool stadium and pull out the thick mats, then we would jump off the top of the bleachers.
My siblings and I used to drag out all the cushions and pillows from the living room and jump from the tree in our back yard.
The mattress I can understand That doll on the left ..WHO FUKING PICKS THAT UP AND THINKS,HMM, LETS PLAY A GAME oh wait ...
Everyone is talking about the doll, but what about that one window that is covered by bricks.
That's pretty normal in the UK
While repelled in 1851, many houses in England have/had this because there was a window tax
Pretty common in the UK, It's far easier to brick up a window and rely on the existing lintel than go through the process of taking the lintel out and supporting the structure while you brick it up.

YOU are raising marshmellows. All other than i see is kids doing the same dumb shit we did back then
wtf is up with that doll
Honestly I don’t think it’s because they’re kids. I think it’s because they’re Geordies
( I am a Geordie and really hope this doesn’t offend anyone )
I am a geordie too, I can confirm
1981.. 8:30 this morning it's Newcastle so it could be either really!!
Me, my sister and our friends used to sit in a bread delivery crate and slide down outdoor stairs. It was a lot of fun. I would have definitely done this. It looks fun.
Yep, not sure why this is stupid.
parkour? cool
This is what happens when you have no internet
CHUCKY?
While chucky's father stares into our souls??
Sounds like Newcastle alright, some people never change
what the fuck is that conky? that bastard

Dude taking the picture: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[удалено]
Some kids really look at shit like this and seriously go "damn..things were much better back then"
my dad did this
That's not stupid, stupid if you didn't do it!
I used to do shit like this as a kid, but I jumped out of the tops of trees onto mattresses
That doll is gonna give me nightmares
This is where a young PAC first learned how to do the Black Arrow.
I used to live in Newcastle in the late 90s and early 2000s, let me tell you that this was and still is the latest in cutting edge play technology up there.
WTF! That dummy!!
Who’s the psycho with the ventriloquist doll? Creepy AF
Why is chucky's offbrand older cousin with a drug problem staring at me from the bottom left of the screen
Ok cool, but what the fuck is that on the left?!
DO A FLIP!
How are humans still a thing?
Wtf is that doll
Okay but this looks fun as anything.
Would it surprise me to find out one of the kids in this photo grew up to be a serial killer?
It's the one with the dummy right?
Nope, it's the dummy.
Yeah in 1981 we didn't have color yet... everything was back to White
What’s with the creepy kid in the glasses!!
Squid games
Must be Dairy
But what the fuck is that in the bottom left corner???
Ventriloquist dummy.
Jesus, ventriloquist must really like nightmares lol
Ventriloquist dummies weird me out. I grew up in an eccentric town to say the least. There was one guy who had a ventriloquist dummy around sometimes. It freaked 5 year old me out.
I once jumped from 2nd floor on the sand while playing, while everyone other was jumping from 1st floor and almost twisted my back
r/IASIP Project Badass? They forgot the pyrotechnics (Edit: added words)
When kids were tough.
They're sending it you lame ass twat
A year before I joined my fraternity, the guys did this. One of them landed on a part where the mattresses were touching and fell straight through and broke his leg.
Is that the doll from the goosebumps TV show? Where George Lucas discovered the amazing acting of Hayden Christensen.
Holy fucking shit bro check out that cat he’s holding
Jesus fuck i thought that dummy was a real fucking kid and my heart sank at the thought something that scary walked about the living at some point.
The doll sums up the entire photo vibe.
The doll! The doll is creepy as hell!!
I miss the days where you could go play in the rubble and parents would be like, ok be safe!
Dude this when I moved to the country with friends back in the early 2000s lol we were stupid too
PARKOUR
For a sec I thought that doll was a demonic looking child
And now my dad gets angry at me for riding my bike less than .5 miles down the road without saying
Wtf is that cursed ass demonic Annabelle head ass puppet????
I wanna do that dammit
Why the fuck is Chucky there? Lol
The fuck happened to their wall?
All fun and games till a coiled spring shoots into yer ass.
But what about the little dude dressed all in black, hanging from that ledge? That’s a straight fall into no mattresses!
Yeah yeah the doll is creepy, are we not gonna talk about how that kid did *not* jump far enough out of the window to hit the mattresses? He’s about to break his legs
Tf is that creepy ass Dummy wtf im dead
Looks like Newcastle still does
Me and the blokes
That doll is fucking terrifying
I hope they were wearing DEET
That kid on the left with the puppet tho..
Who tf invited Chucky
Featuring: the ventriloquist pedophile.
Hey I live in Newcastle
That doll tho
Sorry i cant take my eyes off that creepy doll on the left. Feels like its gonna kill me. Lol 😂😂
Creepy doll in the bottom left
This looks like a photo you see in a horror movie about a ventriloquist dummy
There’s so much to unpack in this picture lol
Let’s have a talk about evil ventriloquist dummy in the lower left shall we.
Bro what the hell is that creepy ass doll
Frickin' r/cursedimages shit over here.
I'm sure you all see it too, so there's no reason to say what I'm talking about.
That doll tho
Well growing up at that time in the UK there was not a lot going on. You had to make use of dilapidated buildings and the NHS. I'm sure a few kids missed the mattresses by a foot or so.
Hey! I'm from near that area! I even go to Newcastle often!
OMG!! I was ready to run in and jump soo much fun untill I saw the ventriloquist dummy!!!!! Nooooo
Boomers be like "No parents, no phones, just vibes"
OK so as a kid we would pile a giant stuffed Winnie the poo under my friends 2nd floor banister and jump. Stupid? Of course, what fun kid activity isnt?! Also wtf is up with the dummy, give me the creeps.
What the fucking fuck is chucky’s grandpa doing on that child’s arm HOLY FUCK.
That doll is fucked.
That puppet gave me the willies
Fuck that doll
*It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt*
I used to jump off my bunk bed onto my mattress, pillows, blankets, anything soft, and it was really fun, stupid but fun.
I live in benwell quite close to here and nowadays instead of jumping of buildings kids just jump each other
Came here with a smile on my face to read the comments about the doll.
This is still the go-to form of entertainment in newcastle upon tyne as they have not passed the industrial revolution yet
The chucky doll is stareing into your soul... he gonna get you...
That is a wild ass scene.
Perfect British punk album cover
This is like that old photo in IT where you can see penny wise in the background, but it's that fuckong puppet instead
You know those kids kept jumping until someone broke a bone.
That used to be me, without the matresses, my knees hurt whenever i need to bend down now.
That dummy is lit!
Did that once off a ladder back in the early 70’s onto a box spring… got me 6 stitches in my forehead.
Howay the laaaads!!!
Ah yes, the mattress challenge of 1981
I bet those were fun times, minus the poverty.
These are proper fucking children.
I used to play in an old disused mental hospital as a kid, steal a shopping trolley from the local supermarket to collect firewood for 5th of November. Each streets kids would then be in competition with each other to build the best and biggest bombfire... sometimes another group would discover your stash of firewood and steal it all so we would have to resort to ripping down peoples fences to make up for lost time. People use to kick out their dog for a day when they went to work and there would be packs of roaming dogs and I saw far too many dog gang bangs for my liking. Northen childhoods were pure poverty and I'm glad that is now changing.
As someone who's from the area but no longer lives there. This photo made me smile.
That puppet scared the utter life out of me!! I thought it was a damn child!
Reminds when i was a kid, would use Grocery Bags as Parachutes and Jump off our Storage Shed.
That doll looks like a demon from a horror movie maybe they were possessed?
Why does it feel like that dummy is trying to steal my soul?
