As kids, we were notorious for wanting all the toys from Argos catalogue then play with the boxes only.

I often fancied the idea of getting dolls. But Lego and papers were my true playmates.

Yeah, kids - shiny outside, scruffy inside.

Though toys from car boot sales were awesome. They were often damaged and you can break and chuck them around without parents getting too mad about it. Shame, these days car boot sales are literally mechanical bits and pieces and chipped crockeries...
