My favorite was my monkey Tippy. She looks pretty much the same now, fur a little grungier, hair bow askew, and someone wrote my name (spelled incorrectly) on the bottom of her shoes.

I don't know why I loved that thing, its borderline creepy. Yet still tugs on the old heartstrings.

My favourite doll was an action figure of course.

It was an Action Man, whom I secretly named Capt Hurricane.


I always wanted another one so that I could inspect them and say "At ease men, smoke 'em if you got 'em".


But at 27/6d a pop that remained a crazy dream.

    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet. 
    • i used to go there in the late 80's and '90s (?) the food was served cafeteria style and there was limited choice, but what there was alays tasted amazing!  The garden was an absolute paradise, you could sit in it to lunch in the summer!  i've tried to locate its site but Walworth Road has changed so much since then - does anyone remember the house number?
    • This is very true. For some people, not even just the elderly, their pet/s may be their most important companion. 
    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
