I need to upgrade my 8 year old boy's toys to the next level and realise I don't have much of a clue what is out there - except for the obvious minecraft, x-box, lego etc. with christmas coming up, i could really do with a few ideas. Also for books, apart from the obvious Harry Potter. he loves animals and music.


any ideas much appreciated!

I was thinking of buying the battleships game (probably in a misguided old school effort) ,but I think they would like it. We are also toying with the minecraft lego (know you said about lego already but...)

Am definitely watching the thread closely as it is such a tricky age to buy for.... Smiggle stores have opened in Bromley, not sure if boys will be into it in quite the same way but it is heaven for kids. Lots of reasonably priced stuff. Is an Aussie brand that seems hellbent on worldwide domination but has pretty cool bits.

I don't know. I would have said skates but you can easy jump off a skateboard if it is running away with you.


Less likely to grow out of a skateboard quickly although you can skates that you alter the shoe size of so will survive a bit of growth.


We have a 16yr old boy next door who still goes out and about on his skateboard, which he has had for years. Maybe a new one along the way but still does the skateboarding.

    • Your post was an attack on the tax   I didn’t  address or mention you in my reply. Just pointed  out the problems with the article you then told be I wasn’t invited.  In no way am I bullying anyone. The reverse is true if anything 
    • The problem is, I'm not sure what the going rate is for park land for festivals of this nature. I'm sure they are paying less than outfits pay for access to the big stadia - but these have better facilities and are normally better for public transport. I am also sure that Councils could press for more, and should do so, but of course there isn't really a shortage of council lands to exploit, so these entrepreneurs could go elsewhere. What I would like to know is how much of the suggested £440,000 this year for Southwark is net profit - what are their costs in getting and administering this let? If this is a gross figure then what do they actually have as 'surplus'? But at least we have a starting point now - even if it's a guess I'm thinking it's a reasonably informed one.
    • Looks like owner of Persepolis is opening something late summer in what was The dulwich Beer Dispensary spot…  Excited about that  
    • All I've done is post a link and you're straight on the attack, for heavens sake. And as sarky as ever. This isn't solely your forum and you don't rule the roost so stop trying to dictate and bully me.
