...Xmas as a kid. Not necessarily the most expensive or sophisticated toy either.
Please note. Any smart arses who say they were too sophisticated for toys, even as kids, can f*** right off now...miserable gits!

Thats easy Mr Snowy.......it was a 'Big Wheel'.

All the kids in our street had em, and we used to go hell for leather down the Burn Valley ramp on em!!

Happy days!

Had one of those myself. Sadly if you bought one of them for today's kids they'd look at you as if you were crazy.

My lads had a subbuteo, but wanted the astro turf pitch thing when it came out (looked just the same but dearer) ...and we duly purchased one ...all well and good till our lass wrapped it up as a stocking filler and decided it would fit the big stocking better if she took it out of the tube and ....... folded it into squares :shock:

......... it fitted lovely, but the eternal creases made it totally useless....she still can't see what the fuss is after all these years.
