1955- What did children want from Father Christmas- - Panorama - Voice of the People - BBC Archive

Here here Bro. take model cars, trucks and trains even toy buses. for the little kid they looked just like the miniature of what their dad drove or worked at. Now all the REAL vehicles look like shabby girly plastic toy's. I useed to go to woolworth with my pocket money and they used to do some bloody good realistic pocket money toy's that looked like the REAL think on the street. To day everything is so fucking childish just like all the fucking women if I need to start somewhere. Brainless, plastic, Barbie doll's with no fuking SOUL or empathy just like Barbie itself! lol! minmd you as a kid I didn't really want gran's socks and gloves and the 3 sizes to big jumper I was tolsd I would grow into, yeh after the fashion was ten yeaars out of date! lol! but now If I did get a pair of sock's or even knitted Condom's, it would be more than the Big Nothing I fucking get today! lol! Bah Humbug! lol! you have a great Christmas Shane.

@mrghoster: Thanks for that.... Yeah the best toys I ever had were a ????? car shaped objects ????? and a huge pile of clean sand to build roads on and tunnels in, and I think 3 match boxes, and a whole length of string, and I worked out how to make a cable car that could be dropped to make pick ups, and raised again.... and I had a sheet metal toy 747, and it was a push friction drive, and it glided under water across the length of the pool, at a very low rate of descent - meaning if the pool was 100 feet long - it would fly along slowly under water and maintain it's speed and maybe drop 15' along the way... It also had square kind of sharp enough wing tips, to pierce the pools plastic lining, and it did..... and my old man went off.... LOL - fuck him - bad tempered shit....

@mrghoster: You have a great christmas too Mr Ghoster.
