Anyone been featured on TV shows/comics/magazines as a kid. Mine would have to be Whizzer & Chips using my 'nasty' design to defeat Super Steve in Super Steve vs NME Nasties. Mine was the 'Volcanic Porridge Monster' and the story was about people in Scotland cancelling their orders for...

Does anyone else remember Letraset Action Transfer packs? http://www.seven-wonders.co.uk/atranges.html You'd spend ages rubbing away with a biro on the backing sheet, pressing on too hard, then the stickers wouldn't come off properly and you'd lose the small parts like swords and feet. I...

In the early - mid 80s there was a spate of ads encouraging kids to open new bank accounts using enticements like piggy-banks and sport bags. I joined Barclay's Bank some time during Middle School and I got a blue folder to keep my bank statements in. I used this at school because it had a...

Hi, Some of these details may be sketchy at best, but I'm definitley not mad, and I'm not thinking about Garbage Pail Kids. Back when I was in Primary School, between 1985 and 1989, we used to collect and trade either stickers or cards. They were probably cards, although I may just not have...
