I remember a toy that was just a card with a cartoon face, but on it were iron filings under a plastic bubble that you could move with a magnet to create the face’s hair, eyebrows, moustache and/or beard. In America it was called Wooly Willy but I think it was different over here. I thought so – it was Fuzzy Face. Good old Google.

I remember smelling a really evil smell every evening one summer as I walked into my front garden coming home from work. One day I stopped to investigate – having put two and two together – and found the cause. A fox had curled up and died under the hedge. The council came and removed it.

I remember the cream doughnuts and iced buns that we used to get at the school tuck shop. I think they were supplied by Clark’s. Theirs were the nearest thing to them I could find post-school. Don’t know if they exist now as a baker. I also remember the bottles of Coca-Cola that they used to put in the freezer. When they opened the bottle the Coke would solidify. We  used to think it was fun.
