"Raleigh chopper"

Mine was too small to be called a chopper.

I had a chipper instead.

I remember we didn’t get much - about 4 or 5 presents in total - and no stocking!

Ones I remember most were a Lego set (just bricks - not a set model - we were expected to use this weird thing called imagination to make models up!) and games like buckaroo, downfall and connect 4. I’m still bloody brilliant at connect 4 - and I’ve kept my kids Lego ready to play with the grandchildren when they come along - along with the dolls house and loads of Thomas the tank engine stuff! I’m a grandma in waiting!

Ma Dad didn't have much money, so all my bikes were 2nd hand. He used to play some brilliant practical jokes on me though

The big fat pen with 10 different colours all inside it. Somehow, magically, pressing the one button on the top of it would select whichever colour i wanted.

I bet I've still got some of those hankies in the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Washed and ironed by mum many years ago, put away with the undies, moved from house to house, never thrown away. Now sentimental value. If i found them I'd probably start crying, and need to use a hankie...

Obviously your family where extremely wealthy to be able to afford one of those,if I was lucky I might get to look at one of those pen's the rich spoilt kids had, meanwhile I was writing with my single colour BIC
