Is there a link there between not being one of the cool kids and reading national geographic magazine?
I too was not one of the cool kids nor was I one of the popular ones. That did change fractionally one day when I was being picked on and in self-defense I took a swing and broke someone's nose.
I never lusted after a Raleigh chopper however I did want a scalextric and a particular technic Lego set.
Born in 77 as a child I grew up in peak Argos catalogue days. This was the Bible when it came to birthday and christmas lists. There was one page top to bottom with various different sizes and scales of scalextric, naturally I wanted the longest most expensive one. The one I ended up with was the one I least wanted the basic figure of eight.
Living in knaresborough we were just down the road from mother shipton's cave. We visited there one day, they have a wishing well, I distinctly remember making a wish for this technic LEGO JCB.
I never got it until a few years ago I bought it myself second-hand used of eBay
Fashion wise I've never been on point however whilst at school I did manage to convince my parents to get me a set of Adidas torsion trainers and one of those giant ski jackets. Another fashion statement back in the day included shellsuits.
