  PML Geoff.   My toys and clothes were mostly hand- me- downs from my older sisters. I remember having a moat and some plastic soldiers tho, and they were all mine! I'm the 'lad' my parents never had.     I remember clackers (2 solid balls attached to string/cord) wrist-knackering dangerous things that only some vindictive person could invent 'ouch'   Scooby, I still have a whole load of smurfs, including smurfette, smurf house etc but they're not from my childhood I got them when I was first married (1982)   For some weird reason an Aunt bought me a doll that was dressed as a nun!  That's turned out to be prophetic lol   I spent a lot of time in hospital as a kid (ear operations) and I always got a doll as a gift Zzzz. I also got twin dolls which I still have, they still have most of their clothes too.
