Tim dives into a 1998 case of toys and novelties.
Some luminous novelty glasses which came out at the end of 1997 to people could welcome in the new year...
A coiled snake which uncoils its tongue when you squeeze it. Asp me anything you like!
A couple of toys from the Takara toy company. Open the outer case and they animate.
An unusual jigsaw in the form of a snake, which is easy to take apart, but harder to reassemble.
Finally, a novelty glitter purse with an intriguing mechanism when you want to open it.
Tim refers to a long standing joke about how much you could buy, especially back in the days before we went decimal, with a coin like half a crown, which was worth two shillings and sixpence!
