Put your toys away now

I was muttering about childhood earlier and this just caught my eye. Leslie Smith, co-founder of Matchbox Toys has died. I used to have dozens of Matchbox cars. Sadly, as boys do, I think I destroyed them all one way or another. I know the boxed, unused, mint condition Matchbox cars can sell for huge sums, but that's not what they were made for. They were made to be played with, and mine certainly were. For hours and hours. Thank you Leslie, thank you.
