So what toys did you covet as a child and/or do you still covet as an adult?

Also what games/activities did you do as a child that were exclusively female?


As for as dolls go, the first is of course Action Man.

My sadness was that I only had the one and not a squad of some sort.

I wanted to line them up, stand in front of them and utter the phrase "At ease men, smoke 'em if you got 'em"

I wish I had the courage to ask for a Barbie, as she would have been Action Man's (or Lance Dangerfield as he was known by his intimates), somewhat slutty girlfriend.


'Two Balls', the throwing/juggling games with rhymes/chants attached. Never see a BOY doing those.

My favourite rhyme was

'PK penny a packet

First you lick it

Then you crack it

Then you stick it to your jacket (and at this point the two baller would have to strike her chest with the flat of her hand)

PK penny a packet'

There was also a fad at one point for a tennis ball to be inserted into the toe end of the leg of a discarded stocking or pantyhos leg.

The girl would stand with her back to a wall swinging/bouncing the ball behind her, sometimes with chants, but not always.

The main point was the speed and skill involved. The more gifted would use two.


So ladies, what did you do?

When I first posted PGC, I promise that the tune #You can style Tressie's hair to match the lovely clothes she wears, heeer hair grooows# was running through my head.

    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
    • Ah, thanks,  it all comes flooding back. I've actually been to the Hastings shop, I'd forgotten all about it, along with her name! Didn't she (in between?)  take over what  was then The Magnolia, previously The Magdala, now The Lordship, with her then partner? Or is that some figment of my imagination?  In fact, didn't they transform it from The Magdala (much missed) to The Magnolia? With flowery wallpaper covering the front of the bar? Which reminds me of the pub's brief period after The Magnolia  as the ill-conceived and ill-fated The Patch.
    • Looking for crate/toys/play pen etc. Ideally will buy in a bundle. Can collect!
    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
