Paddy's "Things that cheer you up"

I can still the remember the horror I used to feel as a small child having to work out out change.

Bear in mind this was the days of pre-decimal currency. I'd buy an ice cream that cost (say) 7d, give the ice cream man a half crown, and wonder if I was being short changed with what he gave me back, as the arithmetic totally did my head in.

As I got older I got it perfectly, but there was that period where it really baffled me.

(The correct answer for those of you playing along, is 1s 11d). :)

I know I've posted this before, but it never gets old...

Some crap orange creature with a tiny crayon on top of his head that sits on your finger. I remember toys that had to built, not this shite. Chocolate was bloody lovely though.
