My mum did that … .she took my Tiny Tears and Sindy dolls and Action Men and gave them to the binmen as part of their Christmas tip …
My mum was worse than a kleptomaniac because when I was teenager she gave some of my clothes away too … my favourite corduroy jacket and trenchcoat and some boots.
Well you don’t wear them much she said… she’d given them to a woman she went to for psychic readings cos she felt sorry for her.
I was real peeved about that. It was nearly a case of matricide.
Oh now, there’s a new word…
Sure are making up for no toys now. 
No, it isn’t racist, but in those days they were just toys, it’s the stupid brigade that have made them so now. I had a Golly too & a black doll.
My Gollys…the one on the left is a keyring. I used it for a while, but the comments made me take it off my keys. Such a wuss 
Golly Solidarity! 
Those are nice too. We had some on our stall once at a fair & we got a lot of remarks about them. I told everyone who made remarks that originally Gollywogs were not black people they were, an animated doll in children’s fiction by Bertha Upton †1912 American writer.
I was wondering what Mum did with little Ted I loved him so 
Its not racist at all
