That's a missile carrier off UFO isn't it? I had a Commander Straker haircut till I was 13 and refused to let my mums mate who was a hairdresser cut it any more.
G-Plan dining chairs and Pyrex coffee cup in the photo. We had similar except our Pyrex had a blue circular pattern on it. Darned good stuff.

Age 6 and in bed with measles ( or similar disease ) when I got a Junior Electricans Kit similar if not the same as this except my lampshades were ( IIRC ) red and yellow

We had a "bring your Action Man into school day" once, and all my friends brought in their Action Man with either a tank or armoured car. I walked in carrying a space capsule. The looks on their faces was awesome.
But Lego was by far the most played with toy.
If only I'd kept it:

Yep, we had those too - my dad and dad in law still use theirs. I think nearly every home in Britain had that set!
Are you lowering the tone again Mister?!!
Oh, sorry. I thought you said rabbit.

Merit also did a chemistry set which I doubt even an adult would be able to buy today.

Awesome space capsule Wobs. Vintage Action Man stuff goes like hot cakes. Bet that space capsule is worth a lot now.
Blightymam - I prefer these old pyrex plates to be honest. They're easier to wash and if you drop one it tends not to smash. We had the matching casserole dishes with the clear pyrex lids but the wife had a clear out last year so they went. It's best to just ignore the man with the Avatar eye. He's about as funny as rabies in a dogs home and hasn't got much occupying his life so enjoys provoking people for an argument.

There certainly were some dangerous toys being marketed. Remember Mamod steam engines? How many kids ended up in casualty with burns from the meths and escaping steam?
Then there was a game you could get where you cut wine bottles up to make stuff like vases. Asking for trouble letting kids play with sharp glass edges.
And don't get me started on the availability of really dangerous fireworks in the 70s. I mean bangers back then really were bangers.

Prob with those plates is that they are fug ugly! Does make me smile tho when I visit my pops. All my life they've had those
And ELF, I think he's fine and I don't think he was trying to provoke an argument IMO, just being silly. There's nobody here that irritates me anymore, not since Himmagin got kicked off. Yay! Thank god for that.
