It would be perfectly at home in a swinging club with its curves and seat for two.

When much younger, it wasn't the toy so much, but more the large cardboard box the toy came in!

When older, Scalextric was the one, with add on kits each year!

My best friend lived on a farm.. Chase the chicken was so much fun.

Also loved, Kirkby, a load of us getting together and playing cricket! Marbles, conkers..... Skipping with two people holding an end and you ran in and jumped. Building dens...

Indoors, I had a scalextric, and train set.

Alex the Kidd!

Always wanted the Megadrive but had to make do with the Master system.

Second was playing kiss chase with this Girl called Nikki from down the road.

I always ran fast, but I kind of hoped she caught me. Just to shy

She used to write me letters.

Good old days.

Had an actionman helicopter that i adored. It had floats instead of landing rack things. Still love the sounds helicopter make as they fly overhead.

Also had a stick that trebbled up as a rifle/machine gun/ stick. It didn't have to be the same stick, and half way through the game, if you found a more 'gun shaped' stick, you could just swap.

Was in toyshop last week, and they have gears of wars, halo, and call of duty weapons for sale. Considering they are all 18's seems a bit strange....
