Declining number of shops

[Guest]

While we are on the subject of shops, can anyone tell me of any decent shops in Cornwall. Failing this, is there a shop anywhere that does a catalogue and also postage? Thanks.

I don't know about Cornwall but I'd recommend Hannants Hannants - Plastic model kits and accessories as they are a real shop with a website rather just a web-based place. I've found them to be quite reasonable price-wise & helpful plus they stock a good range.

To expand a little further, perhaps children not making models so much now is down to the parents?....Come home, watch t.v., have tea watching it, say goodnight to it!I know it gives parents a break, but so would sitting down with their offsprings and making a model together. My late father did this with me and taught me a few tricks of the modelling game.

Mind you, this was back when Ena Sharples was the pin-up girl in 'Coro' on t.v, so I guess the shed was the best place to be!!

Perhaps the youngsters of today think it sissy to make models, join the scouts, go camping...but get them to have a go and they soon change their tune.....enough said!

Ena Sharples as a pin up!!!!!! Either you got some VERY funny tastes or my memory has gone. She looked about 90 years older than God when the series started!

Are you thinkin' about Elsie Tanner?!

Yo Gern, It was just my warped sense of humour!!!

I just remember watching it in b/w on a screen about 12" across.

Then my parents bought the first COLOUR tele in our street....Boy, did they have some new friends.

Elsie Tanner? Far too common!! LOL
