Way way back in the good old days it was dinky toys but you had to swap something to get one, you couldn't buy them. At school we played a game similar to marbles but with the old waxed cardboard milk bottle tops, flick them against a wall and winner takes all. You can see those old tops in the milk bottle museums, there's one in Malvern, it's a geography and history lesson rolled into one |

Wasn't allowed either Buckaroo or Operation cos of 'too many bits all over the place'.
Mentally scarred forever. Bought Buckaroo in adulthood. It was shit
Loved toy cars though. Had hundreds and never got bored. Sad eh. |

Aaah, the old BASIC computer language... Spending days copying a programme out of a book, to end up with a square car going around a square track being controlled by arrow keys.... Happy days! |

I’m going back a bit … but I remember the wonder of getting to grips with my first slinky and a pair clackers ,,,,,,
Not to mention my dizzy excitement at discovering the amazing ability of Superballs   |

Bionic man, Evel Knevel (bike AND rocketbike!), Crossfire, Escape from Colditz (ordered from the catalogue thinking it was action figure, turned out to be a very complicated board game), Fuzzy Felt, Sticklebicks, Weebles.....but the best fun was putting a lollystick in the spokes of your bike. |

My first bike with rod brakes, a catapult that I made 65 years ago and still works ok today. A bow and arrow and a peashooter, used hawthorn pips as ammo! The best was bits of blotting paper soaked in ink and flung with the aid of a bendy ruler |

Invented by Craven Walker an ex Spitfire pilot ( I think) but definitely a naturist .
