[QUOTE="Cazza, post: 329872, member: 5725"] Excellent post, thanks for sharing! You lucky thing- bet you were the envy of all your mates! My favourite toy shop was Hurleys in Burnham-on-Sea. Always used to go in when visiting my Gran. They had a massive soft toy lion on the stairs- he's still there now! They had a fantastic corner at the front right as you came up the stairs to the first floor. Scalextric first, then Action Man, Action Force and finally loads of SW. Other legendary shops for me were Zodiac Toys in Swindon and Tesco Home and Wear in Cirencester 8) Got a funny feeling in my stomach when I went into what used to be the Tesco recently- smells the same and the sound of my feet on the floor was the same too. Weird, I know, but little things like that bring the memories/feelings flooding back :) [/QUOTE]
