Back in the day me and my mates found a glider in Quarry Holes. Remember playing on it for ages and one of my mates went down a hill at the foot of Easter Road behind the Percy. He hit a bump and he flew forward as the glider flew back hitting him in the neck. No idea how it didn't decapitate him.

Aye Jim, guiders were brilliant. I built a few in my day. Burning a hole with a red hot poker in the spar for the front wheel axle block bolt. Raking for old pram wheels - large for the rear and small for the front. A FMA box was the standard main frame.

I was a guider moNSter myself.

What about skateboards made out of a plank of wood and a roller skate?

Madame, Shirley

I just googled them, and one guy reckoned that "Marie-France spent a suspicious amount of time hanging around with Monsieur Lafayette, le facteur." Made me quite jealous reading that.....

Totopoly was one of my drunken buys on eBay. Not only did I pay well over the odds because I was determined to 'win' the auction, I found out that the much loved family board game I remembered from my childhood was actually utter *****.
