@Springstar very close! I realise I have included too wide a range as must have been about 14 with Press Gang.

Haha I knew it 😄

It was Spyro and the Rugrats that gave it away.

Although I did have a sneaking feeling you were actually much older but trying to trick us. Grin

I'm 41 and I think you must be a few years younger (I remember those shows but they were a bit too young for me). Maybe 38?
