Nostalgia

[secsee1]

Does anybody remember around the 50s & 60s in Christmas crackers there used to be a toy called "Dick the diver" it was a small plastic frogman with a little cavity on his back that trapped an air bubble in it, when you put it in an old fashioned beer bottle with the screw down stopper (which was full of water) when you tightened the stopper he would sink to the bottom then rise up again when you released the stopper, I had hours of fun with this toy, I can also remember getting a large seashell that had been varnished, when you put that into a large glass or vase of water the shell would open and out would float lots of coloured paper flowers, very simple toys but they kept kids amused for ages.
