It’s Saturday morning in the early 80’s and I’m ringing up Swap Shop to swap my Tiny Tears for a Mr Frosty. Anyone willing to take on Tiny Tears and swap for something else ?

I'll swap Escape from Colditz for a Simon (always wanted one of them, never did get one, until I had DC)

I'll swap for Tiny Tears. I always wanted one and was ever allowed. In return I can offer a Viewmaster with the landing on the moon slides.

Mousetrap for Roller Skates please.

I was only allowed to watch Swap Shop if it was raining outside and I absolutely was not allowed to watch Tiswas (or indeed ITV), ever.

This telephone number is my regular earworm!

And I'll swap you my Mastermind game for your tiny tears.

(And may I admit that I was a teenager before I realised Posh Paws was Swap Shop backwards??)

I'll swap the Mastermind game for (drum roll) The Sound of Bread.

Please can I have a Posh Paws for my Holly Hobby doll.
It blew my mind when I found out it was swap shop backwards

Great minds @SallyOMalley

And I was nearly retired!

(About a minute ago!)

Posh paws is not swap shop backwards. It’s swap Hsop

I’ll swap anything (including my grandmother) for a Girls World.

I've got some of those metal roller skates that you strap on to your shoes.

I'd like to swap them for the blue and yellow roller boots that ALL my friends have.

Pfft I had a Girls World. You're welcome to it if you have a Mr Frosty...

OK well .... nearly!

I'll swap my Crystal Barbie for any of the get along gang please...

I have a Mr Frosty I'll swap for roller boots. I was never allowed them.

I had a tiny tears. I think something other than water got inside (thanks DSis!). Mouldy green chunky bits will cause real tears I assure you. Best stick with a Mr Frosty. They don't tend to sit in the toy box for months, still dirty.

Messed with my mind when I discovered this was the same phone number for Crimewatch!

I never saw Swap Shop as most every Saturday and Sunday I had to play in the Girls’ Brigade band to open fetes, charity and fundraising events and Church parades. ☹️

Wished I had had a Tiny Tears though.

I was never allowed to watch Tiswas either, my mum strongly objected to Spit the Dog and the Phantom Flan Flinger as she thought these taught children bad habits

Anyone want to swap something, anything, for an Etch a Sketch? (the most pointless and disappointing toy ever)

You can have my Mr Frosty (sharp, shitty, plastic winding handle plus a lethal, razor sharp grinder with two trays of rock hard ice from the freezer compartment) I really want a second hand chopper.

I'll swap my Barbie ballerina 🤨 for a dark hair Sindy please.

I'll, swap assuming you want actual roller skates not boots ,they were shit ,your not having my roller boots though 🤣

I've got some care bears to swap...I'd happily have the mousetrap.

Can I swap my Operation game (1970’s version of course!!) for a Sindy Doll? I asked for Sindy every year at Christmas for what felt like forever and never got one!!!
