Star, I think it was a mixture of pulverised stone ,cement and other stuff from what I can find. Probably of a hard gritty composition. My mum used a piece of sandstone which did the same job.

Rhyl Sun Centre, we went once with the children . Not much impressed back in the 80's. Jam packed andall bins overflowing everywhere with old cup, food and nappies. Never again.

Ahh, the Bunty. Don't tell anyone but I used to enjoy reading my sister's copy. The four Marys and Bunty's cut out wardrobe on the back page.

This little chap. Discontinued, due to fall in demand. Kids didn't know about him,and nothing to do with political pressure.

As a child,it was a great thrill waiting for the next one to drop through the letter box. No idea where mine went to, but they fetch a lot of dosh now, considering they were only a couple of shillings at the most.
