Each Friday is magazine day.

This means I buy a kiddie magazine with a free gift toy for my son.

The magazine itself is invariably thrown out without being looked at.

The toy is invariably some piece of plastic tat which is played with once before being thrown into a big bag full of all the other plastic tat, where it remains permanently.

It really is quite a poor use of our planet’s valuable oil reserves.

This week’s instalment is a useless plastic gun with bullets which look suspiciously like suppositories.
