It’s not just games. There are books, dvd’s… heirlooms… it all takes up space… and there’s that blood furniture and beds too…

@warzan my mother was one of 11 children that lived in a small terraced house. One of my aunts one of 17 children. You’re right about people having nothing, especially when they were growing up between the two world wars. I didn’t have much as a kid, but it was a lot compared to my parents and I didn’t have to wear ‘hand me down clothes’. The world is crazy and wasteful today… constant barrage of adverts to sell us the latest TV, or phone and peer pressure to have the latest technology.

In my job as postman I see new houses being built  and they’re often only small, but when I glance inside those unoccupied buildings they look so spacious… because they are empty.

Those of us that work hard deserve to treat ourselves from time to time, but out hobby is flat packed for the most part. One box of miniatures seems so small when you buy it, but by the time you’ve built the figures and terrain I takes up so much space.
