"Do you recongnise any of this stuff?" asked the librarian and indeed I did, I had the very same "Lou Reed Greatest Hits" cassette and Scrabble with Turnbtable I could see prominently on display. I also loved Scalextric, but never actually owned one myself - I had a much smaller Matchbox system that sat in my bedroom, used properly for a while by 6 year old me, before inevitably becoming a series of attempts to make the cars jump over things.
I did have a train set, but only the basic track and engines, I didn't have anywhere to put it up properly.
Really, there should have been Warlord Annuals, Spangles, slimfones and spacehoppers present to make it the 70s I remember.
And Starsky and Hutch. Where the hell were they.
