Itching powder and fake cigarettes.

So last night in bed I was extremely itchy all over (side effects of meds) and couldn't sleep but it make me think about itching powder and all the other funny things we used to be able to buy in the Joke Shop.

I used to love spending my pocket money in the Joke Shop as a child. Do they still exist anywhere ?

Did you have a joke shop where you lived ? Any memories/stories about going there and what you bought etc. Finger snapping chewing gum packet was a favourite of mine. The good old days hey.

Remember buying stink bombs in little glass bottles and running up an down the train smashing them on the floor. Ended up getting chucked off the train, The 5 mile walk home was not so much fun!

Used to go to a great shop in Weymouth on holiday when i was a kid, they had all the joke stuff mentioned on this thread, plus they used to sell latex masks, werewolves, vampires, etc. I got some werewolf gloves and a werewolf mask, then back home scared the shite outta the kid next door, hid behind the fence and put a gloved hand over, then head up wearing the mask, he ran in the house screaming, lol.
