Most of us remember those days when a pillow case appeared at the foot of the bed, with simple presents within the available finance of parents, no credit cards or other 'pay tomorrow' means. Not cheap plastics 'made in China' that were in the back of the cupboard by New Year. My pride and joy in later years was a battery-powered RAF launch, it set off across the boating lake, with hope and faith that it might be retrieved from some distant shore! Dinky racing cars that would be raced down the groove in the cement edging to the beach steps. The latest abc Loco book. Yes, and the orange as well (yes, we have no bananas).

Another one for the Carry On Film Department.
I won’t go into the Christmas presents for the Ships Crews moored on the river provided by Freddie C and his launch carrying the Lady Santas, now that was product placement
