And Cadbury's used to be my favourite chocolate too...(switched allegiance to Green & Black's now). Wonder what Kraft will dream up for them...A collection of mini American Presidents together with a random assortment of Dictators from around the world, perhaps? Now that would get the internet forums chattering! <br /><br />All I remember collecting (beyond Green Shield Stamps) was Football Club shields which you stuck on a large piece of folding card (vile tasting glue) and then not long after that came the round metal discs with footballers faces on them. Had quite a collection of those. Should've kept them I suppose. I understood Go-gos were all the rage at the moment, but those seem to have passed me (or my kids) by too - I was told about them by some friends' children who live in Cornwall, so maybe it's something which hasn't hit the north. Well, not Chapel-en-le-Frith at least!

It...What about smurfs?<br /><br />I'll leave that there!<br /><br />It's funny about internet 'trust'. We might feel more vulnerable because we can't see someone's face and read their expression but I am guessing - like you say - the vast majority of people are honest and not out to con. Like we find in the 'real world'. The internet - as a medium is ever changing...I'm still not entirely sure whether it has improved my life or not!<br /><br />If you could blog the ultimate answer Mark - I'd be grateful.Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-35990421830941209792010-01-27T15:27:36.062+00:002010-01-27T15:27:36.062+00:00Childhood collections are fun - and so are adult o...Childhood collections are fun - and so are adult ones. I used to collect Matchbox cars but my ex took my collection - I had some good ones too - auction-bought ones. <br /><br />After my mum died and I was clearing out some of her stuff I found lots of little plastic figures she had collected from Typhoo or Tetley teabags. My, that was a poignant moment.<br /><br />Hope Dylan is having fun wrecking the Yowies with his trainsFrench Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-19123740419067164462010-01-27T14:57:03.652+00:002010-01-27T14:57:03.652+00:00I still have all my farmyard animals, especially t...I still have all my farmyard animals, especially the horses.

Yeste...The last comment is such a kid thing to say! Yesterday I picked up my son from school club. He was playing with a toy stable and a dolls house - except it wasn't a toy stable, it was Buzz Lightyear's space station. Also involved in the game were a number of small doggie figures. Kids' imaginations eh? There's nothing like it and I'm sure we could learn something!WrightStuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684505907887354154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-70061763217418218412010-01-27T10:29:55.860+00:002010-01-27T10:29:55.860+00:00Likewise, I can't remember collecting anything...Likewise, I can't remember collecting anything as a child, nor my sons ever having that mentality where they wanted to amass a collection of something. Not everyone has it.... there must be a special part of you that wants to collect. I collect a few things now, but none seriously.... a specific design of tableware called COTTAGE GREEN for sentimental reasons, bears, books. Does it count as a collection if it then gets used up slowly, like my stash of yarn?pinkfairygranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497901949136714254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-8713095422002282912010-01-27T09:42:51.722+00:002010-01-27T09:42:51.722+00:00I'm trying to think if I've ever had a col...I'm trying to think if I've ever had a collection of anything.....I must have!! Erm, do books count? I used to love the books where you decided what way the story played out by selecting which page you would go to next...I had loads of them and couldn't wait for the next one to come out. <br /><br />Now? I guess it's probably art...every time Chris and I go away somewhere we buy a picture (usually from little known artists on some market stall) so when I look round our walls every picture has a story. I guess that's a collection of sorts...<br /><br />Your right about the internet and the people you meet there. I have now met a number of blog friends and every single one of them have been as lovely and warm in real life as they are in their blogs!<br /><br />C xCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327016337976942530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876862148358784705.post-28370398352745467182010-01-27T07:10:04.238+00:002010-01-27T07:10:04.238+00:00I think all kids (grown up ones too) should have a...I think all kids (grown up ones too) should have a collection. It adds spice and focus in a trivially pleasant way to life. My spice of choice is Lego... the great thing about it is the kids are into it too and I can "inherit" their stuff when they growo out of it...!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
