I recently found some of these at home and occasionaly pick them up in charity shops. My 3+ year old LOVES them (and I have to admit to loving them too!).

So this is request for a little boy and a big kid.

If anyone has any they want to get part with, please let me know. It's the olders ones with the lovely illustrations I'd after. IT doesn't matter on condition, as long as they aren't falling apart, it doesn't matter if they have names of scribbles on the indie covers etc. They are to be read and loved by both me and my son.

Please Pm, especially if anyone has one called 'Tootle the Taxi' (I think that's what it's called). I saw a newer version in a charity shop, but I used to have the old one and can't find it anywhere and the newer one just isn't the same.

I'm especially interested in the tales series, with stories about Elves, the princess & the pea, a giant turnip and other factual ones like the motor car (which is now hopelessness out of date and all the lovelier for it!)etc.

Go on, Make my day.

Have a good weekend/week/life

  The problem is Starmer can't shut up about his dad being a tool maker, they made Keir, a right prize tool. Reeves continually blames the previous Govt, but correct me if I'm wrong but inflation was decreasing, unemployment was stagnant, with decreases and the occasional increase, things were beginning to stabalise overall. Then we had the election 4 July when Starmer and co swept to power, three months on things are worse than they were before, yet Reeves continues to blame the former Govt. The national debt doubled overnight with public sectors all getting a wage increase and now the budget that penalises business with the increase in Employers national insurance. The result of which will be increased prices in the shops, increased inflation, increased numbers of redundancies, increased unemployment and increased pressures on the DWP to fund this Future growth will go backwards and become negative, farmers will no longer farm in protest against the Govt, more people will become poorer and unable to pay their bills, things will spiral out of control and we'll have a repeat of the General Strike until this bunch of inept politicians resign and Kemi and co prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg and sinking.

  Indeed so. Just noting there are other options and many children and indeed young adults may well be perplexed and/or irritated by a cheque.

  My experience of the CT is that when they screw up, their first instinct is to cover up. They are also shameless liars.

  And that's your choice, but it's not everyone's choice. Some people don't like or can't do what you do.
