did you believe the Etchasketch drawings? I had one and always had problems drawing a straight line, let alone the sketches they came up with.

Great program - really took me back. I think I was a bit of a tomboy, as I didn't have a Sindy, but I did have lego and a 00 guage train set!

I noticed that they've changed the knobs on the etchasketch - yes I'm very sad.

I never had airfix planes, but I did make airfix dinosaurs. I still remember painting my stegosaurus with beige umbrol paint. How things have changed - I've just bought myself a new Dyson for Xmas. I want a train set now.

I had one o those flight deck games - it was great fun - for about 2 weeks, until the elastic band broke, and I couldn't get one the right size to replace it.

I also had andn Arnold Palmer golf game, which I really enjoyed.

They were both much more fun than the Sindy or Tiny Tears I had!

Never realised just how gay Action Man looked until I watched that programme. Had one of the early (late 60's) ones that shouted things when you pulled a string out of his chest, but I buggered the voice box when I took him for a swim in the bath - testing divers outfit :D To think I used to play with my camp hero for hours too... oh the shame of it :o

Nah, just the lego and Scalextric - he is my favourite Southern Softy though ;)

My favourite toy was Spirograph - kept me amused for hours.
