Humpty on Play School was like a gonk - a LARGE gonk! LOL - and they were very definitely around in the sixties - most of us made our own if we couldn't afford to buy one. They were totally different to trolls. Trolls have proper faces,legs and arms (albeit moulded to their sides). Think of a gonk as being all face. Mags xx |

Didn't have the ducks (thank goodness) but my mum did have some 3D faces on the wall (think they were fishermen). My grandmother had 3D plates with cottages on them - though I don't know what era they were from. The wallpaper we had was bright orange, rather large flowers of some kind. And my dad put up wooden panelling on one side of the room where the staircase and understairs cupboard was. |
