My favourite was a Meccano set.

Lovely photo Tiffany
Yes, those prams were so nice. I don't remember having one myself, but I did have a pram (we called them carriages)

Sshh Summer . . . I had one too, but don't tell anybody.

Bet no one had a Muffin the Mule stringed puppet - and a metal one at that. None of your plastic stuff then.
I loved him to bits.




(This isn't my one, but a picture I found of Muffin).

They were great fun, eh Tiffany?

I had a wicker doll pram like that, too Tiffany...but the wheels were bigger. Mum told me that one of our bull terriers chewed up it's mattress...

Scooby Doo.
Rounders.
Jacks.
Marbles.

I used to dress my Nan's Cat up in my Dolls Clothes and ride her round the garden in my Dolls Pram, the Cat loved it.

Same here: Meccano

I still dress up Blue, but not in Mom's stuff, it's too old fashioned.....

Seriously though; I had two armies of soldiers, the British army and the German army, together with Tanks, Armoured Cars and other assorted army vehicles. We would re enact the second world wars in Dad's garden, which was large with a rockery running all the way down one side. Perfect for an ambush!

I also had a large Meccano Set, but never really took to it though (probably I was a bit too young for it at the time, would have loved it now...) But I loved my Lego. They had just come out and didn't have all the stuff you get with them now. Just bricks and roof tiles, and a brick with holes in for the wheels to fit.....I kept my Lego until I got married and my daughter took over as chief designer.....

Cricket against the gate, or 'Tin Can Tommy' in the street. No problem from the traffic, only two people in the street had a car in those days. The district nurse and an Insurance salesman....Who also had a very kissable daughter......

Bloke thing.
I ended up as a professional (electrical) engineer.

Me too Besoeker, except a fitter and general machinist, and later employed as a toolmaker....
