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.

P is for Pressman's Paper Parade!

Shot on Adrian's table at yesterday's Sandown Park toy fair, these are lovely, box has collapsed a bit over nearly a century (WWII'ish), but Pressman are still with us as a games and puzzles manufacturer.



Simple die-cut press-outs, with seperate 90° slot-in bases, they are sort of Military Academy type 'proper' toy soldiers and I thought they were rather lovely! Thanks to Mercator Trading for letting me shoot them.
