Re: CHILDHOOD GAMES/TOYS
I used to want a train set too. My uncle had one. It filled a whole room in the house. There were stations and tunnels and little houses, fields with trees and cows and sheep. He could make different trains go round on different tracks and change the points to send them on to different stations. I wasn't allowed to touch it but I do remember watching in awe.

Re: CHILDHOOD GAMES/TOYS
I remember test match cricket - didn't it take the best part of a week just to set it up for a game!!!?
I also remember blow football (which you could make yourself), and of course - SUBBUTEO!!! What an absolutely top game - the only problem being with it that you could buy so much stuff for it you could never keep up! Star Wars action figures/craft/etc were absolutely HUGE when I was young, and I also remember lego being much more fun than it looks nowadays - you used to get a set with loads of pieces in it to make whatever you wanted instead of the piddly sets now where you can only make 2 or 3 things. I used to have a 6 million dollar man - with the bionic eye!!, and I used to read the Beano, Dandy, Whizzer and chips and Nutty (remember bananaman?) when I could. My fave board game was game of life, and I also remember hiding a scrable board game for about a year because it used to rub me up the wrong way!!!
