I always thought Legoland was a bit unfair on children, showing them things they could never hope to build for themselves. ---

I don’t know about Lego - I never had any nor did I play with children that had it\* Then as a grown up it never featured in my life either - We had a beach and rock pools and a harbour with a yacht club and rowing boats ---

I know what you mean, Fishy, but I think that may be outweighed by the (working) flights of fancy to be seen. I acquired my stepchildren when they were teenagers, so ‘missed out’ on the Lego years And the Barbie years Thank God… Carinthia.xx ---

I wasn’t allowed to, as the machine at home was a treadle. We didn’t get an lectric one until I was 11. It’s at Carinthia Towers By The Lake now Sob Carinthia.xx ---

I am now approaching the _ **severely** _ pissed off stage. For the curious, it’s a nice image-stabilised zoom lens for the Canon DSLR I was given for my birthday. I _was_ hoping to get some nice shots involving Ellen… Since they seem to have lost track of about three parcels, I’m tempted to claim for **all** of them. After all, I have their own evidence that there’s one in Tallaght and one in Kilkenny, while I most definitely did _not_ take delivery of one at any point–nor did I sign for anything.
