    I know that feeling.

    Bet Rohan went to Florida every year whilst you spent a wet week on the isle of Wight?

    Luxury. You were lucky to have a tent.

    Did anyone else have any of this?

    image

    I had stacks of it and it was great fun. I never knew anyone else who did, though. My mum bought a job lot of it second-hand at an auction. If you look carefully at the picture you'll see that there are metal rods sticking up from the base; these hold the bricks in place. At some point in time, the powers that be declared that it was not best practice to have children's toys consisting of rows of upright metal spikes and it got withdrawn from the market. That explains why even in the seventies, when the likes of Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris were considered safe around children, my mates never had the pleasure of owning their own Bayko set. It's health and safety gone mad!

    Spent the Weekend round my Nan and Grandad once and they gave me one of these.

    They lived in a flat so couldnt play with it until I got home... When I did I ran straight outside, kicked it the length of the garden (it wasnt the biggest, nor the smallest) which resulted in the ball hitting the fence and finding a single nail sticking out... Popped instantly!!
