The stylophone just reminded me of the existence of pocket pianos!
Oh my gosh, I can picture it but I can't remember the name. I'm off to Google!What were those things called that had a keyboard but you blew into it? ... I think it was red
I had all of those apart from Fashion Wheel and Stylophone. I had a Tomahawk bike. Never progressed to a Chopper.I'm a child of the mid 70s, so I'm.going..
Orange space hopper.
Cadburys chocolate dispenser ( the red one with the 2p's)
Post Office set
Girls World.
Fashion Wheel
Stylophone ( yes with the beaded one)
The pencils with loads of colours that you had to push into the arse end of the pen to use?!
And....if only...a Chopper Bike
Im sure I'll think of others
Boys toys; I still have my original Millenium Falcon that I had as a kid around 1982 (no, the toy wasn't from 1977 when Star Wars came out).
It must be worth... oh... about £30...
I had the red wind-up thing that you'd put him and his bike on, wind-up and then let go to end up whizzing under a table and falling over?That was an absolute must have toy at the time though.
My hubby talks about his Evil Knievel that he had and loved though apparently was a bit rubbish.
I had a Bontempi piano the one year, best Christmas EVERWhat were those things called that had a keyboard but you blew into it? ... I think it was red

My husband had a Grifter. He said that's what the cool kids had. He said it weighed an absolute ton.If you had a Raleigh Grifter on my street you were the business
I inherited my older brother's red Grifter and it was soooo heavy! It was last seen gently rotting away at the back of my late grandfather's garden. My younger brother later bought the house and confirmed that it's no longer there.If you had a Raleigh Grifter on my street you were the business
That's what I wanted but as a child of the mid 70s, the Sindy House retailed at approx £100 in 1982ish! My mum said that it was rubbish and made of plastic and adapted a white wooden bookcase instead!?Absolutely bloody fantastic !
