Remember this? Yesterday I waltzed into a Maccas and saw this sign at the register:

I was agog, and could hardly throw my money at the manager fast enough. As everyone predicted the meal itself was a failure (he said everyone hated the weird milkshake), and he said he had ‘two cases’ of the toys ‘to get rid of’.

I bought ten, but he gave me twelve. In retrospect I was so astonished by what was happening I was a fool, and should have purchased twice as many.

One of the six still eludes me: the Ronald Macdonald tin. If I see them for sale again, I will certainly buy more.

And of course this also means I now have 26 of the wonderful postcards….
