Oh my goodness, I am living amongst heathens.
I had one of these sets. Days of fun.
I always admired the kids with these fancy sucker sticks.

Those paper caps were cool, but these plastic ones were considerably louder and waaaaaaaaaaay more desirable
This was my action man, I think I will give myself a scar like that, might make me look tough.
My brother had the one with fuzzy hair, I said he looked binary but my brother said I was too clever for my own good.
Also the braking system as previously mentioned
Did you ever master using your shoe as a rear brake when your chain came off your bicycle and all you had were pedal back brakes
A few bruised heels later and a.skelling for no soles on the shoes. And then go fix your bike and use that shoes there's no new shoes and it's all you got when we go out somewhere. Narrowly avoiding the klap.Did you ever master using your shoe as a rear brake when your chain came off your bicycle and all you had were pedal back brakes
Phew that went well!
I still got scars on my shoulder from a face brick wall. My face healed up nice. You won't notice anything. But the marks on my shoulders are still there from racing around a building without brakes almost 35 years backDid you ever master using your shoe as a rear brake when your chain came off your bicycle and all you had were pedal back brakes
During the first wave I needed some to treat an ingrowing fingernail and our pharmacy was out of stock, because people with COVID were buying it to help them breathe.
Just by the way, did you know that Vicks is used to treat an ingrowing nail, if the skin is inflamed? Nail technician taught me this. Just rub it around the corner where the nail is growing in and try to get it under the nail as well. I did it twice a day for about 3 days and voila! Problem solved. Inflammation gone completely and I could then snip the nail.
Ah, I loved sitting on the upper deck!!
And in safer days.

My Granddad was a miner. My Grandma would make Xmas cake all year around. The ultimate energy food. He would take Xmas cake sandwiches down the pit, the bread was left for the Knockers
