cap guns were good,even us girls had them,,could buy a little round box of caps,,

Well I had a tommy gun lol! My uncle Fred made it, it was like a football rattle, so I could 'kill' loads of baddies! I was the only girl in our Close and all the boys used to gang up on me - so I had to have a really serious attack weapon in order to win!

Also had a bow and arrow - I'd have liked to have a serious go at that later - but shoulders weren't strong enough.

Couldn't stand dolls and things - never saw the point of them - there were enough wains crying in the Close to put me off I think!

can anyone remember those rockets you used to put a cap in and drop on the floor as someone was walking past lol

I know this is going off but spanish juice and kayli
