Just floored my loft allowing Sid Jnr masses of floorspace for scaletrix and train tracks. scaletrix and trains were always pish in my young years as they spent their lives gathering dust in a cupboard due to lack of a good attic space. What were the best toys in your day - I think Ching still has that stick and hoop thing popular with victorians.
1. Frustration - family favourite for causing all in square go's.
2. Raleigh Tomahok - Cannae beat a bike and the tomahok was the dogz of its day.
3. Sodgies - Shitey dark green plastic WW2 figures that were a c"nt to get to stand up on the popular shag pile carpets of the day. Rolling a marble at them to knock them down. A pound a bag from the gr'n'k shop in Johnstone an excellent stocking filler and unbeatable son / dad game.
4. The Castle - as above, medieval castle soon populated with the shitey dark green plastic WW2 figures (the diecast knights were as dear as f"k) requiring chucking of the marble rather than the rolling technique. Sadly eventually suffered the same cupboard fate as the scaletrix.
5. Drum Kit - Full size 4-peice kit and still in primary school. Sid Jnr and the sidlette ahve already got their own 5-peice precision kit. Thankfully always been blessed by very good neighbours.
