Post subject:  Jeremy Clarkson: Children really don't want toys
July 31, 2005

Worrying news from Hamleys. According to the world’s largest toyshop, parents had better start saving because the must-have children’s presents this Christmas are going to cost three hundred and eleventy million pounds.

Boys are going to want a 2ft Robosapien V2 that can bark orders, lie down and chase a beam of laser light. This will sell for about £200 and be broken before the turkey’s ready.

Girls, apparently, are going to lie on the floor and thrash their legs around unless they are given a pink doll that looks a bit like Jade Goody and has a hissy fit unless you brush its hair. It’s called Amazing Amanda and it will cost about the same as a new kitchen.

It all sounds very frightening but I’d like to bet that in real terms these toys are no more expensive than the stuff my dad was given as a boy. And that, as he liked to remind me, was always an orange and a piece of string. What’s more, I bet they are no more pricey than the toys that filled my sack as a boy.

As far as I have noticed, when my country started to use € instead of Finnish Mark (that we call grandmoms mark nowadays over here) the prices has been risen. In everything. But there'll be a day when these salesmen rise their prices too much and people won't buy anymore of their products. We all know how cheap every product is when it leaves it's factory. Why do we want to pay too much of it? I can't understand this certain 'brand' thing. But if the product is well made and don't break in to a pieces for example for the next 15 to 20 years or longer I don't mind if I pay some extra for that kind of product. But not for a toy! And I think that everything else is worthless but time together, part of a happiness is sharing your souls together not these worthless products that can't care and show their love without paying for them and even not then. :-?
