Yes, Bob is most definitely a Dulwichmum. Not that I have anything against them, well, perhaps their gargantuan '4x4 buggies', but that's not really fair because they are soooo desirable. Anyhow, I digress. Bob? Just a note to help your man masquerade more successful. Top Trumps was not a 'collecting' phenomena, not in the strictest sense, it was a card game. One didn't barter the cards in the play ground in that misty eyed, nostalgic way you are describing. That refers to the still present 'cigarette card/Panini sticker' fads boys enjoy so much, an innate quality of adolescent masculinity that has been exploited by scurrilous marketeers for generations. If I may refresh your memory, 'Bob'. The cards were themed around topics chosen to excite impressionable boys, aforementioned 'qualities' coursing through their veins, each a budding speed freak, geek or embryonic despot: Tanks, Ships, Helicopters, Fighter Planes, Super Cars, Bridges, etc Each card, or trump, carried an illustrated example of the theme (a cypher, really for the sublimation of aforementioned) which was assigned a 'value' based on the included data (statistics and dimensions etc). The game was organised around a principle of pitching stats against stats, strong against weak; no bartering took place. Just a process of annihilation as the strong 'Top Trumps' devoured the weak. One could swap entire sets (but that was for the truly geeky and never actually happened, not in my school anyway). Ok, 'BoB?' By the way, I saw the actress who teams up with the 'Peep Show' boys in the fancy kids shop in Lordship Lane. I think she was after a 4x4.
