Some nice Raleigh bikes here! I posted two Raleigh Burner pics as I had both colours at one time or another.

Jaws 1975 (Ideal)

The players put all the junk pieces in the shark's mouth. The weight of the pieces keeps the mouth open. Using a gaff hook, each player then attempts to remove a junk piece from the shark's opened mouth. The first player to successfully remove four junk pieces wins. However, if a player takes a wrong move, the shark's mouth will snap shut. If only two players are playing, the final player to successfully remove five junk pieces wins

Very sort after game this never had one, but remember it and fetching good prices on flee bay.

Another Jaws toy from 1976 had one on these always in the bath with me when i was young, again fetching silly money.

Pocketeers (TOMY) 1975

In 1975, Palitoy released the original set of "Eight great Pocketeers" in the UK, under licence from TOMY.  Each one was an ingenious mechanical pocket game and came in a green packet featuring a unique cartoon name and character design.   Palitoy/TOMY went on to release 38 more Pocketeers.

We had this sort of crap in the 70's too. 

It was just one of the things I had to endure to keep up appearances 😉

Things weren't as easy back then as they are today. God knows how they coped earlier when it was still illegal ☹
