Stories like that are brill but its so sad when the item eventually have to go
My nan has toys that my mum n her siblings played with,then they got used when my nan did child minding,then they got played with by me and my 9 cousins when we were young n now they are getting used buy our children.....These days i think manufacturers dont make things to last-cheaper to make and means you have to buy it all again...more money for them all round.
Hopefully when my nan and grandad pass away il get my hands on a few of the things before they get thrown away....some people dont see value in 'old clutter'
