Evel Knievel Toy Set
October 15, 2008 by John · Leave a Comment
When I was still in short pants a friend had this Evel Knievel toy stunt set. I seem to remember that the motorbike went like a rocket! We had hours of fun winding Evel up and making him jump over the accompanying ramps and by also making our own ramps out of piles of hardback books and boxes.
Well, the great news is that this Seventies toy is available again - it’d make a great retro present for boys of all ages! Visit Hawkin Bazaar today and treat someone to this totally fab toy.

Happy Birthday Paddington
October 13, 2008 by John · Leave a Comment
Today Google UK is celebrating Paddington Bear’s 50th birthday with a custom logo (pictured).
A firm favourite with children and grown-ups alike, Paddington is well known for his good intentioned disasters and his liking for marmalade sandwiches …kept under his hat for safe keeping of course! More recently we’ve seen Paddington on the TV in adverts for marmite (personally, I hate it!).
If you’d like to introduce a child (or grown-up) to Paddington Bear then amazon stock a wide range of his books and if you’re looking for the bear himself then visit John Lewis.
