    Toys from your Childhood

    Timpo also made interchangeable figures, not as detailed as Britains but a lot cheaper. They even made a train set to go with their cowboys and indians. I remember the tiny shop next to the Dun Cow Inn used to sell them.

    Toys from your Childhood

    Call me posh! I had a replica revolver where the caps were loaded into dummy cartridges and the cartridges inserted through a loading gate. It had an ejector lever under the barrel too. It was ridiculously heavy for a kid of my age and hard work pulling the trigger. Also had a lever action...

    Things you miss most about the 'old' Coventry?

    Just the two, the Colin Campbell and the Royal Oak or whatever they call themselves these days. It wasn't just the pubs which disappeared from Gosford Street there was an incredible choice of cafés too!

    RIP Labour

    He's a distant cousin of mine and it's the subject of much humour in Holland as my family is about as anti-communist as you could imagine. The ancestor of mine who financially supported Karl when he was writing Das Capital was himself a wealthy merchant banker.
