    Reminds me of my brother (chatting to our Mum) enquiring of his young son - "when do they stop playing with themselves?". Mum's answer - NEVER !

    More importantly I hope your 10-year old doesn't believe in Santa any more? I was (to my shame) 9 when I twigged - and my 7 year old sister had a right old laugh! :mad: Clearly was living in ♫ Land of Make Believe ♫

    I can remember buying my lad a full set of Lett's revision books, one xmas. Not many angelic glowing faces that morning. Nearly as popular as the geometry set I got him for his birthday. :rotfl:

    oh yeah - Lett's ! They're what finally enabled me to understand Maths!

    Do you remember Chemistry Sets? - great fun. They're banned now, probably wise as I do recall being able to produce something akin to Poison Gas and acids that would rip off your skin!:rotfl:
