I got roped into them a couple of times and ended up buying several records I didn't want.

Bloddy?

Not then no, so why are you trying to compare today with something from 90 years ago.

Because it's interesting to see how times have changed?
Isn't that the point of showing old adverts?

I see your point - I thought you were hinting a lefty rewrite of history.

Can't re-write history - it's there in black & white.

People do try though, for eg tearing down statues, trying to make those people non-existent.

I think it's more that they're questioning whether they should be celebrated.
All off which has nothing to do with Meccano.

I fall for it every time, but am learning now that there is absolutely no point in continuing a conversation with you.

What?
Why?
I was just saying I wasn't sure that people were trying to re-write history and that, anyway, we'd rather drifted from the original post which was about Meccano.
I don't know what your problem in Herc, but you need to take a chill pill.

I had a set but not one that could build Tower Bridge.Presumably that would have been the 450/-

or 22 pounds 10 shillings.

I was more of a Bayko boy myself.
My dad bought some bloke's collection from a junk shop.
Bloody massive it was - despite a few missing pieces.
Never enough corner bricks, I seem to remember.
Ironically it was taken over by Meccano, but they stopped making it in the early 60's - so by the time I got my hands on the stuff, there were no spares to be had - apart from what you'd find knocking about in junk shops etc.
