  • Decent matchbox cars. Easter eggs with decent toys inside like aforementioned matchbox cars.
    a cardboard clock with small Easter eggs at each numeral . Those machines on the wall you put 5p in and got a real great toy . Also coins stuck in the afore mentioned machine which could be prised out with your trusty Richards of Sheffield pocket knife  , especially if it was a 5p . The penny bubblegum machine with little books of tattoos in them that could be affixed to the arm with ones spit. Coconut chewing tobacco.

    Riding bikes, building tree houses, making slingshots and bows and arrows, the only rule being be home before dark, barefoot and carefree.
