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.

E is for Exhibition - Fleet Library 2021

I noticed I broke 2020's down into parts so I could tag everything properly, but I'm chucking these up here as a single post because A) I just need to get them off the Laptop, and B) there isn't a key to all the exhibits, so it's more a question of what can you spot? What did you have?!

Last year's theme was wooden toys, and they often seen to loose their packaging/branding quite soon in their ownership, but a few do have their box, and for a four-shelf cabinet and small table in a local library, I think it gives a good overview of wooden toy over the last 70 [plus] years!



















I'll try to get the other one up this evening sometime, but there's plenty here to amuse or entertain, not so sure about the educating or informing angle!
