Hi Ian

Such a young child? Oh dear don't let him hear you say that. When I was ten I was on top of the world! I could read , write and do my sums! Biggles was my hero. I thought I knew everything. I would not have wanted a toy microscope. However at that time you could not buy much. It was 1945. The war had just finished and the shops were bare. I remember what I got for Xmas, a donkey engine. Learnt that you don't spill metho on your hands when you light the burner. Not to forget to put water in the boiler etc.
