MrPin Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Probably a hoax Hmm, maybe not, maybe fake more like? A bit like my SS Officer's quartz wristwatch? Things so un-PC, they make you laugh. I want to believe it is real. Remember it's not so many years ago, in the UK that the bus drivers union were divided on whether black people should be allowed to join. A fine example of International socialism at work. And who remembers sweet cigarettes? Or those toy cigarettes, which you blew to make fake "smoke" come out? All seem very wrong now.

happy_renting Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Indoor fireworks! Smoking vagrants, and long squidgy stuff oozing out of a cardboard donkey's bum. And excellent carcinogenic chemical smells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I had a smoking monkey! It was a monkey that, er, smoked. Bought it of a pikey that sold stuff door to door Probably collectible, as it seems so wrong today. Apparently boys are not bought toy guns so much anymore. I had cowboy style cap gun, a combination spud/cap gun/water pistol (Blue, but I can't remember the name), and something known as a Sekeden gun which fired gold coloured clay pellets. I suppose today all the shooting is done in computer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trip to the gun shop yielded a starting pistol that used short .22 blank, grip the right size for a childs hand. Operated like a conventional revolver. He had the loudest toy gun of any of his mates. Brilliant. Confused next doors dog a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay67 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I'd completely forgotten about indoor fireworks! We used to have the same sets in the 60s. They were pretty underwhelming though. Sweet cigarettes were common, and also packs of chocolate cigarettes with rice(?)paper on each cig. Chocolate cigars covered with silver foil wrappers were around before Christmas. For one of my birthdays in 1964 I chose a replica Luger pistol and revolver with gunbelt,as advertised in TV21 comic. They used caps (presumably long-since banned) and we took them to school. At Primary school we also played cowboys and Indians, and Tommies versus Germans. Anyone doing that now would no doubt end up on "ze list".

One of my GFs friends was lighting proper outdoor fireworks in the kitchen, before putting them outside. Ironically he is a safety manager for Railtrack (absolutely true).

200p Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've got a Webbley Tempest somewhere. But everyone I knew I had a Gamo (? Looked like a colt)/, it was only £20, and it was chrome, but not anywhere near as powerful as the Tempest. The dream pistol, and still is today, is the Weihrauch HW45 - it s nearly £300 and one of the most powerful air pistols available. I never got a cross bow or an air rifle, although I knew others that did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still shoot one for old times sake. Totally agree about the HW45. I used to shoot pistol HFT with one and a friend of mine kills rats very efficiently with his.

200p Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I didn't know they went bust - but I guess with the ban on online sales, that must have really hurt them. You have to go to a gun shop and be over 18 years old - Like that is ever going to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
