# Its your age
The ancient schoolground art of throwing your money (or more typically somebody elses money) onto the floor and yelling 'scrambles!' to which a violent scrum would ensue as people scrabbled for cash.
And of course, the arcade game from the 80s 'Scramble'. Ah, you see what I did there? ;)

# Heh
I lived through them all (and nine years of the seventies as well).
God, I'm old.

# I had 3½ years of the 60s
Don't remember 'scrambles' though - we were too poor to have dinner-money, 90% of my school were on free schoolmeals.

# Yay for wise and aged b3tans such as ourselves!
EDIT: Wondering if Scrambles was perchance a Midlands thing - quite prepared to be proven wrong!

# i'm a dirty southerner
we played it. Maybe it had migrated down during the time between you going to school and me going to school.

# well we didn't have scrambles as such
at my secondary school we had a thing called box out which was basically a mugging where things were snatched from you without warning

I don't think it was a geographical thing, the barbarity of children in universal

I remember "Scramble".
I'm not quite that young. Scramble was dangerous and usually ended up as a bundle with a small fragile child at the bottom.
For some reason I completely missed the reference.
