About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

F is for Fishel's Fetching Fuchsia Firefighters!

Another quickie! I am hoping to get hold of some Internet time on Monday (today as you read), so will try to produce something more substantial for later on, but for now this box-ticking exercise presented itself during the ongoing sorting process.

Marked, they were kicking around about 12/15 years ago and could be seen as the more commercial wave of the newer-styled, civil, die-cast vehicle accessories, all in a similar vein, although the hats are poorly sculpted and the over-all impression is of the Royal Household's Beefeaters on a picnic!

Ooaawahh! I must change the Firemen tag to fire-fighters before someone says something!
