Re: Your Favourite Toy As A Kid
I do not know about favourite but here is a story about an adventure I apparently had with a toy when I was young.At the time we lived with my grandparents in a small village in the Rhymney valley, and our house was one of the last before the main road up the valley (just to sort of set the scene). I had been given a pressed metal 'mobo' horse, which was designed for the child to sit in the saddle and by pressing down on the 'stirrups' the horse would walk. Right, so I was outside my grandparents house on this horse and for some reason was left unsupervised for a while, when I apparently disappeared!!
Some time later I was delivered back to my grandparents house by a local doctor (one of the few people at that time in that place who owned a car) who had come across me some distance up the valley road, crying my eyes out. It seems that every time I tried to dismount I, of course, pressed down on one of the stirrups, thus making the horse take another step. Needless to say the horse was given away as I screamed blue murder if anyone tried to lift me onto it after my 'adventure'.

Re: Your Favourite Toy As A Kid
We had shared games like Snakes and Ladders or Monopoly, we played cricket or tennis and went swimming oh I loved hop scotch.Was not into dolls I remember an aunty buying me a doll when I was little and I remember looking at her like she was daft (I was an ungrateful child)
Give me running and jumping and I was fine.
