... No, not those sort of toys
As I get ever closer to 50, I kind of regret I didn't hold on to more stuff from my youth. I still have my snooker cue from my teens but that's about it. When you're a youngster, toys and the like don't necessarily hold much memories or sentimental value for you, so you're usually not heartbroken to see them go, whether to someone else or into the bin! Tbh that's a healthy way to be in most cases bar things of value e.g. handed down through the generations.
I was watching a YouTube clip the other day and the guy (in his 50s I reckon) still had his ZX Spectrum computer, remember those? So this got me thinking, if I could have held on to 3 toys from my youth, what would they be? I settled on these:
ZX Spectrum (I still remember saying 'mum, it's supposed to make that noise!' as it loaded games )
BMX bike (It was a Halford's one but I loved it)
Evel Knievel wind-up stunt bike
Tbh I could rattle off 20 toys I wish I'd kept. Okay I know things like computers and bikes aren't necessarily looked on as toys, so the criteria is anything you used in your youth to play with / derive fun from. So, bearing in mind the limit of 3, what toys do you wish you'd held on to? And again, keep it clean and feel free to post pics.
