Re: CHILDHOOD GAMES/TOYS

Hey Simon I had a Tomahawk too! Grifters were pretty hard-wearing cool bikes of the time if I remember. I graduated onto a 'track-certified' chrome Aero BMX later which was responsible for many stiches, bruises, bust lips and noses and general good times.

Anyone remember test Match Cricket in the 80's - you had the bowler and batsman on their own gantry which you could aim and bowl/play a stroke with (obviously....) and you placed the fielders (who had a plastic 'pouch' in between their feet with which to catch the ball), you scored runs depending on where the ball finished up on the pitch (it was marked out). A great game which me and my younger brother played for ages until he started beating me everytime and I quit playing - I was a very sore loser and some would say still am!
