About Me

My photo
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.

A collection of various configurations of Blue Box wagon in the small scale, I haven't seen a brown box with brown wheels yet. Notice also the horses bottom left betraying the possibility of colour bleed from the draw-bars/central poles.

Obviously in the normal course of events, there would be a very timely Toy Fair 2020 report here, but sadly I'm at the Toy Fair 2020 today which rather precludes the writing of a Toy Fair 2020 report in such a timely manner , so I'll have to brief myself latter and give you a sort of second-hand report on what I said to myself, in that [other] report as soon as I can be arsed to, but not today because . . . no. no I've explained that . . . he's a very silly man!

Please note; the passing of a parent to the other side may cause a delay to some Toy Fair 2020 reports and render them less than timely mannered. Your Blog's posting-rate and erudition can and may go down as well as up, and eventually even become as decrepit as Stadsshite's Shitestuff.
