The Thomas one is so funny, you get caught up in it yourself- our son is 18 now, but we were punting on the River Stour in CAnterbury yesterday and my husband could not stop himself saying " look there is a Thomas in the river we can almost reach it for you..." we managed not to rescue it. But I am sure we had duvets, bins, lights, pencil cases, PJ's the lot. Not interested in trains now at all.
