I must be a saddo because I can't remember what was my fav toy.
I enjoyed the usual Lego and meccano but I spent most of my childhood playing outside when ever I could.

I had the golf thing that had a player on the end and you could change clubs and balls depending on where you were on the course (ie hard ball for driving and a softer ball for putting)

Also had Action Man, train set, meccano, bike and playing out with mates.

LancsYorks think that the erector set same as meccano

Not really, just have no idea what a "meccano" is or was or what it do or does! (humbly trying to "learn the language" y'all!)

Ann.

(Joking.)

I was going to ask that too. Come on don't be shy, what's Mr. Wuff-wuff's name?

ANNE · 30-08-2006, 21:02

Grrrrrr Rindy. I'm not 50 nor am I ever going to be 50.
His name's Bow.
He's more holes than dog now. I have tried to patch him up a few times over the years.
Twice I have tried to throw the moth eaten thing in the bin. One of these times after a row.
The big softy even wants it to be buried with him.
I to still love crayoning Granny.

For the life of me, I cannot think of any "favourite" toys from my childhood. It occurred to me while I was reading the thread that with the exception of Len and Macca (ok, rindy too ) that the vast majority of those replying to the thread are ladies Maybe "favourite toys" are remembered more by the fairer sex than men?
