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.

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
