A Chopper here too. And my own record deck. And a photocopier (ok this was never going to happen but I genuinely wanted one)
And... toilet paper...

In Western Europe, we can't really claim to have lacked anything growing up but does anyone have anything they asked for but didn't get when they were nippers? I'll start: |

I always wanted and never got an Action Man Nazi Stormtrooper for some reason. |

due to my parent's combined snobbery/poverty i wasn't allowed loads of stuff as a kid: star wars stuff action men a snorkel parka transformers micro machines trainers that didn't come from freeman hardy willis cats or dogs (had stick insects and a homicidal rabbit) a video i did however have loads of lego and airfix kits so i can't complain. although i wasn't allowed a chopper either i did get a second-hand grifter for christmas one year, which was possibly the heaviest slowest and also most dangerous bike of all time. stupid nut-crushing sturmley archer twisty handgrip piece of shit. been thinking about childhood bikes quite a lot lately and in fact daddy have just finished a song about it. even more spookily having spent last night dilligently rehearing said song with jlord, i set off for work this morning on my bike and came a spectacular cropper at the junction of old street and clerkenwell road. just arrived at work having limped my bloody-kneed way in pushing my bent and tangled bike.

I even had to save my pocket money up to buy myself a bass. |

I never had a chopper, but did have Raving Bonkers (or Battling Robots, or whatever it was called) and lots of action men - the action man casualty rate in my house was higher than at the Somme (where, oddly, not many action men saw, er, action). I quite possibly had a storm trooper. I also had battling tops. It really was in the wrist action. And a Sega megadrive - but by then I was a grown up and bought it myself. |
