Despite the need, nay moral obligation, to insert some sort of innuendo here, I
can't bring myself to do it. It happens to us all now and again I suspect.
Personally, I found a lovely 6314 City People, and for my hippy streak, I mean
Pirate Fortress/jungle.. 6318 Flowers, Trees and Fences... none of which appear
in toy shops near me!
I can't remember what everyone else bought.. but it was a lot.. as the pictures
should reveal.
I know what you mean though - it's not a treasure trove.. but it is the best
shop that I know of in the UK. Which as I don't have a car parhaps isn't that
qualified.
