The ones you had as a kid, in this day and age of electronic games, laptops and the like do you ever long for the good old toys of your childhood? Etch A Sketch, Magic Robot, Tiny Tears, and good old board games, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, ohh and jigsaw puzzles? What were your fave toys? |

my sister had a tiny tears doll and when she had to go into broomstick plasters (both legs thigh to ankle in fibregals plasters with a broomstick between the ankles to set the legs at a certain angle) the hospital put some on her tiny tears doll to make it less scary 
i was a bit of a toyboy and had lots of He-Man action figures  |

I had transformers, ruppert the bear teddy, buckaroo,atari st, they where all great,but the best of all I used to love my gokart me and my friend made, we stole an old pram and took the wheels off it and made it from wood we where about eleven, we used to get bin bags and jump of garage roofs to see if we landed any softer, and when we watched karate films we used to think we where the bee knees  |

Hand made go karts with old pram wheels and bits of spare wood, how good where they? We used to make bow and arrows too, and a tent out of an old sheet thrown over the washing line! Those where the days! |

Lego all the way for me, absolutely loved it!
Also loved my Hornby train sets which invariably broke because I was too young to appreciate the value of looking after them... and my subbuteo quickly went the same way also. The harder-wearing Lego won the day  |

Also had lego, that really had to be the most versatile and toughest thing, a different toy everyday really, I had a massive lego set and then other sets where added at later stages. Had it for about 8 years, then passed it to my nephew who had it for about a week  |

had an action man.....but from age of 6 was allowed to run wild through the countryside...this was my playground right through until I was in my early twenties....by early teens I was armed to the teeth with a knife and a rifle and a wealth of knowledge about my surroundings....used to stay out in the woods, set up camp hunting and foraging for food. I could have been Ray Mears!!!! |

Straight jacket, padded cell, great when you escaped from the jacket and ripped the padding from the walls.
Same when I learned to swim in the local canal, swimming was easy it was getting the brick out of the bag and untying my hands.
My mum brought lots of uncles round to entertain me when I was a kid. |
