OT - Toys requiring assembly.
 

Hi all.
I've just had a very good experience assembling a
toy I purchased for my daughter's birthday.
Manufactured by a german company named Playmobil,
It is a 'hospital' put together with wall and floor sections using
lugs that are twisted to lock adjoining sections together.
Gotta give the Germans a Hearty round of applause...this Playmobil
stuff is a very
impressive piece of engineering for such a unlikely application.

The Germans do seem to know what they're doing with regard to engineering,
even down to food packaging. Ever tried to open a cereal packet, clingfilm
box, or one of those cardboard 'zips' made in the UK? Utter ****e, yet when
I've opened German packaging it's always worked perfectly.

The Germans have always been on top when it comes to engineering,at one time
it used to be this country but when thatcher gov got in power the country
went to the wall,its hard to find anything British made and exported.

Come to think of it...its hard to find skilled workers.

I hope you're going to let your daughter play with it some time :-)

As a departure from my personal real life a little 'role play' is
helping me.
I have appointed myself as The Playmobil Hospital General Manager and
I have just laid down some company policy.
Rule 1 : Back-chat from female staff is a dismissable offence.

I hope rule 2 is that "Back-chat from male staff or those of any other
gender or mix of genders is a dismissble offence" otherwise it will not
be long before you are in trouble.

2 Christmases ago somone thought it would be a good idea to buy our 4yr
old the playmobil castle.
It took 4 adults around 3 hours to put the thing together.

As you say, brilliant engineering. Everything fitted and nothing missing.

Speaking from my Health Dept. office ( Woolworths gazebo carboard box
) I'm closing your hospital down due to lack of use and moving its
patients to a trust-built unit ( Lego and Sticklebricks ) further down
the road.

Please note that parking at the new facility will be at the rate of £5
per hour for a Hotwheel and £7.50 for anything larger.

Otherwise, you will take the Hospital back under the PFI agreement made in
previous years, leaving the Local Primary Health Trust with no pocket money
to run the services !!!

Probably a good subject for a new University Degree Course.
Either that, or leave it for the kids to put together.

Worst are those model cars and similar that are fastened to the box with
loads of wire and maybe even screwed to a base. Bought a JCB model for
grandson - let him open it in the car and ended up having to pull over and
get my tools out so I could detach it from its box.

I know how you feel. I well remember having hours of
fun with a toy called "The Big Loader". Classic toy.

Still available - and still sells well (albeit with a thomas slant).

I remember having one as a kid and loving it - and my kids have enjoyed
theirs as well!
