what's on the top of your wardrobe?


Recommended Posts


Ha, ha!

Our wardrobes are fitted and floor-to-ceiling, so there's nowt on top.

Suitcase, overnight bag, the emergency small TV (for when the big one goes on the fritz), some no-longer-used electronic gadgets (a phono stage, a HDMI switcher etc.), a box set of 3 Leningrad Cowboys DVDs and dust. Lots of dust.

Now we're talking.

Working left to right:

A pair of spare cheap pillows, rolled up foil backed underlay, a pair of old curtains, an empty rucksack, an empty hold all bag, a large plastic laundry bag, some cardboard type flooring tiles, 3 radiator airers and a spare single duvet.

You are welcome.

there must be some high shelves?

There are. Fortunately, we have a set of step-ladders. I'm still at full stretch to reach the top-most shelves which are used as a kind of long-term storage.

Not so much a wardrobe but the top shelf of the closet because I don't have wardrobes..

  • A late 80's pair of 1490 Docs.
  • A box of miscellaneous photos and documents.
  • A sleeping bag.
  • Camping stove and pots & pans.
  • Lantern.
  • Hate to say a box of cables, but a box of cables.
  • A box of ties.
  • A box. (It's a good box!)

dont tell me - it was too right wing for you?

Let’s just say there were certain ideological issues, but there was a sex scandal that was dealt with just as badly as the tories or the police have historically dealt with them so it was bye from me

3 large boxes containing a part of Sharon's (my wife) 130ft Scalextric track, the rest is in the attack and all the the cars are in her dressing room.

She likes Scalextric.

I remember when I got Scalextric for my birthday (the first time I'd asked for something specific as a present) and my great-aunt visited. She had a go, and kept exclaiming that she was never allowed to play with toys like this when she was a  little girl. A bit of a speed demon on the track, too.

Did anyone ever have the rival product TCR? None of my friends did, but the adverts (with the lane-changing and the "jam" car) always intrigued me.

Interestingly, Sharon finished up with a Scalextric for similar reasons.

She asked for a Scalextric for Christams when she was a young girl but was knocked back because it was a toy for boys.

Many years later we were in a toyshop looking for Christmas presents for younger relatives and I just happened to say, what would you like for Christmas. We were standing in the aisle with Scalextric, Sharon immediatley pointed to the Scalextric and said one of those.

Once she got her hands on her Christmas present she immediatly started buying more track, more cars more.. more..

She now has a huge track with modern digital controlled cars with lane changing, unheard of when she first got it.

It takes over the entire downstairs floor area when she goes for one of her Scalextric parties, they get a bit wild as everyone who comes along gets really into it.

most kids toys adverts in the 70s were a bit misleading  - the toys always worked perfect and they either had a living room/table the size of a football pitch or a garden like a safari park to play in
