[The Baron]

Not that posh, my all time favourite was getting my first real leather football.
Spent hours honing my skills to never become a professional footballer
Just to add Clackers were banned at my school because of broken wrists

That looks terrible, but it was the greatest thing in the world when I had one.

 

[chillipickle]

Had both of them chippy, imagine the melt down teachers would have these days if you came to school with clackers

I didn't have one but my mate did and all the kids were jealous as you say its looks a bit crap now but back in the day it was amazing.

They're probably old hat now, but if they'd had those remote-controlled cars when I was seven or eight...

I always thought that must be the best toy in the world.

Swingball was definitely my favourite summer toy - we went through one a year just about. My Dad was always a bit too competitive though - none of this letting your children win in those days. I rather miss this thinking back.
