There seems to be quite a definite split here, between those who never
did, and those who considered it a dare. I certainly recall a group
of us, around 8 or 9 years old, daring each other to jump the hedge
and get the ball from the scary old man (he seemed ancient to us - was
probably only about 60!) who wouldn't give any kids their balls back.

Britons have the same right to silence that (for example) the Septics
do. They are read much the same caution at the time of arrest, and
retain the inalienable right to say absolutely nothing under interview.
One right that Britons do have, that is not enjoyed by many other
nations (such as the French, as confirmed by several recent cases of
over-enthusiastic policing), is that of habeas corpus. You could ask
some of your chums in the IDF about Military Order 378 and its abuse,
colloquially known by the soldiers as 'tertur'.
