No knakkas are those little things that hurt like crazy when I take a well aimed kick!   My favourite toys were in this order;   1.  Action men (I had four as well as the scorpion tank, the heavy gun, life raft and a couple of other things.  My dad made me a tent with a fold up camp bed based upon his which was ace.  One of my action men was killed in action in the allotment one day and so we buried him.  My dad dug him up about twenty years later whilst planting some potatoes!) 2.  Lego (destined to do something in the construction industry) 3.  My tonka toys (The real ones made out of metal, not the feeble later plastic ones.  I had the dumper truck which me and my mates used to sit on and ride down a nearby hill and the mobile crane)   Then later in my childhood my favourite toy by far was my Raleigh Strika bike, which I crashed and rebuilt loads of times (you could jump those things over anything)                                                                                                                                                                             

My pogo stick was my fav along with my roller skates and a huge big James Bond car! Wasn't allowed dolls 'cos I used to draw on their faces and cut their hair off!

Action man horse.

A proper horse. Not like yer namby pamby feckin' "my little pony" rubbish.

& Bagpuss. Only Mum made me give Bagpuss away cos some little girls round the corner lost all their toys in a house fire. I tried to get away with dumping a stupid Sindy doll on 'em, but she knew that meant naff all to me, so made me give them my favourite toy as a bit of a lesson.

I learned it too bloody well and have gone on to put everyone else's needs before my own for the whole of my flippin' life! Durrrrr...

Well mine has to be the smurfs collected them for yrs, sadly all gone now but do still have the mask that was fun and hot wheels cars.

lego technic rules!  With all the hydrolics and stuff, i used to make some cracking things (pickup trucks and stuff with hydrolic lifts).   And setting fire to things with magnifying glass was the best thing my grandad ever taught me... used to give all my schoolmates a laugh.   I also had a big blimp, from the Turtles.  Used to run around the house with this giant baloon thing pee'ing everyone off lol
