Anyone else seeing the irony of a packet of CORN flakes having a MAZE (maize) puzzle?

Just me then....

Ho hum.

Even at her creche, Limpit was exposed to computer games and such like. I suppose if jobs of the future are going to be computer based as seems likely, it's a good way of getting them computer literate instead of spending thousands of pounds retraining us older Luddites, but it did seem to me to leave out a huge part of the creative side of childhood. I remember 'Twinkle' magazine (circa 1973) which had a cut out doll and clothes on the back cover every week. I would spend hours designing and creating new clothes for these dolls... closest we got to electronic toys was the remote for the TV which had just the two buttons, volume and channel.
