The transformer baddie is Megatron. Cant really remember any particular presents, but we never went without. Best presents ever would be a cure for my mums parkinsons and a cure for the youngests epilepsy...........

[Vamps]

Something called Tric-Trac ........The blue Man from U.N.C.L.E Oldsmobile .......a space hopper ..... a selection box (with spangles and an Aztec bar) .....and a Party Seven..

I remember getting one of those.....   I remember getting an electric train set, before I was really old enough to  understand it properly, but remember my Dad helping me a lot!!!!!

Although Mum and Dad were not exactly flush, and with a big family, we couldn't be extravagent, we never went without. We all always had a stocking, and a couple of main pressies.

I remember a ping pong table, a snooker table and calculators (when they were ridiculously expensive, and the LEDs ate batteries).


But my childhood memories are always of family, fun, and Christmas din dins. And left over turkey for weeks - the carcass wasn't thrown away until the turkey soup was completely transparent . Being the youngest, I always had to give up my bed for grandma and "Uncle Bill" (step grandad), but it was exciting at that age to kip on the floor.

Wow Jamie....your comments about the turkey carcass.....made into soup......swmbo does it to ours. luvvly jubbly
Do the younger generation do it...I bet not !!!!!!

Also....I can remember getting my first electric train set....but I never got near it at first, as I can still picture my dad and two uncles setting it up on the table and I did not exist. Electric train sets were a new innovation in those days

No more key sticking out the side of the trains.

I was actually thinking exactly the same. First present I can recall too. Train set, at the age of 4. My Dad held off a whole 4 years before buying himself me one.

First I can remember is when I was around 5 I think. It was a bat mobile with little batman and robin figures that you could take out of the car. Seem to remember the car had a button that when pressed let off the 4 rockets mounted on the boot.
Fantastic present!!
