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.

P is for Police Department

Just a quickie tonight, it's a Hasbro dime store type, which is unusual in itself, but more so for having a folding roof, with no apparent purpose, by which I mean the internal compartment won't accept figures, there are no holes for torsos, and it may have had a small bag of candies, but it would have been very small?





What do you make of it? I took too many shots of the underside, and not enough of the top, but it's in storage now, I think? The hinged roof only invites damage? Marked POLICE DEPT., lengthways on the bonnet (hood), readable one way only, and HASBRO 1 MADE IN USA on the underside, it's a lovely shade of ultramarine!
