Re. comments on childhood toys. I remember spending hours with Bayko in the 1960s. I have not seen this around now. It was a building set, the parts being a green base with holes into which were inserted metal rods according to the base plan of the structure being built. Bricks, windows of all shapes and sizes etc., all of which had grooves along their sides to fit between the rods were then slotted down between the rods. Red roofs were available to complete the buildings. Sets of various sizes were available and each had a book of building plans to follow to make various houses, bungalows, etc. I think this was essentially a 'boy's' toy, but I think I, a girl, used my brother's set more than he did. Maybe this started me off on my eventual career in the land professions! Is Bayko still available?
