Childhood across the pond

Well, I'm back "home"! As in what I call "home" these days, at least. Fortunately after a week of driving in the States over Christmas holiday, I still reverted to driving on the right "wrong" side of the road when I returned to the UK. Though I still fear I'll get tired or stressed or something at some random time and find myself veering into the righthand side of the street...

So yes, I should make a better habit of updating this since apparently people DO read it! :)

Well here, a quick and easy amusement for now. I'd been meaning to share my visit to the Museum of Childhood. Particularly, as promised, the dark side of the Teletubbies.(And yes, back in the day the Teletubbies, much like other celebrities, had their own controversy surrounding them. A brief walk down memory lane of scandal with Tinky Winky and Po)

 Life-sized Teletubbies display at the V&A Museum of Childhood!
Kind of cute! Kind of creepy... but mostly cute!

Did you know they had actual formal names? I sure didn't! Here are the little descriptions of each of them, straight from the museum display. I swear, I'm not making this up...

Addiction to custard and sausages... um...?....okay...

Oh, believe me, they get weirder... Tinky Winky's got nothing on the next two.

I... yeah... um... I just don't even know what to say to that.

Oi! They're vengeful?! These cute, plush, child-like creatures are vengeful! And it's the littlest, sweetest Po, the red one, saying that, too!

Well, now! Surely there's got to be some other happier, lighter childhood memories and examples to be found here in this museum...

Nifty displays, toys exhibited...

Gift shop, books games...

 Aww, that's cute!...

 TEEN KNIFE CRIME! That's cheerful! Nothing encompasses British childhood memories like teen knife crime...?...!... eh?....

An odd bunch, over here... that they are...
