Congrats Davemac ...
Thanks,.......I think you are probably of an era, as I am, when the play equipment was a real health and safety nightmare, the slides were of a height that if you fell off the top a broken bone was guaranteed, the umbrellas that could easily give you a bang under the chin, and a rocking horse that if you put a hand underneath would amputate a limb, and the swings on a concrete base that every dare devil tried to get to the "bumps". Modern equipment is wobbly stuff on big springs, with bouncy rubber bases, but do the kids get the same enjoyment ?
