2) A favourite toy or game: Subutteo
3) A favourite food/confectionary: Palma Violets
2. Bobby Charlton's Casdon Soccer
3. Old Jamaica choc bar
2. I can't remember the name of this football game but each person had a stick with a magnet on the end of it and you could move players around as they also had magnets fitted. It was played on a 'pitch' made of thin Bakelite and you moved the stick under the pitch to move your player. Lots of fun, a forerunner of Subutteo. The magnets were reversed in each team so you couldn't move the opposition's players.
3. 'Palm' toffee bars, especially banana flavour, and 'Flying Saucers'
2) A favourite toy or game: Mouse Trap
3) A favourite food/confectionary: Curly Whirly
1) Rin-Tin-Tin-Tin and

3) Palm toffee bars (for years I thought the "P" on the wrapper was a "T" and thought it was a Talm toffeee bar).
