Well I have never seen Top Deck, but defo have seen the red camera. I think they are still around in souvenir shops. The discs for example have several photos/slides (eg. places of interest of where you are staying) on and you just look through it and press the black switch to move to the next slide.
Also ones for kids like this one on Ebay.
Here is a video!!

I remember them all - marathon changing to 'snickers' still irritates me even now.
snick·er
verb (used without object)
1.
to laugh in a half-suppressed, indecorous or disrespectful manner.
What exactly has that got to do with chocolate bars?

Oh Wow!! I remember all those things except Top Deck. Kicking around in a cupboard. I still have the cassette player, the Polaroid camera and a mobile phone like that one. Obviously non of this stuff is still used, but I am a 'hoarder' ;D

Top Deck still exists and was very popular where I used to live, nearly bought some earlier at the local discount warehouse actually, but it was a case of 24 and I didn't fancy carrying it. Top Deck Shandy was *the* drink to have for a lot of kids because it contained 0.5% real beer!

Mmm, remember all of those things very well, but they were mostly 70's and 80's stuff; anyone remember sherbet dips, REAL wagon wheels, Walnut Whips and liquorice sticks?
Masons pop, Ansells Allbright,m Watneys Brown Ale, hula hoops, real radioes that had a tuning knob or 78RPM records that lasted two minutes?
Council house coke stoves that doubled up as a kettle hotplate? Brewing tea in a teapot, and topping it up after the first few cups? Going out top the coalhouse on a frosty night to refill the coal bucket, filling up hot water bottles to warm your cotton bedsheets?
Washing clothes, sheets, curtains and everything else in a five-gallon barrel with a washboard for the really grimy bits, before putting them through a hand-wringer, then hanging it all up in the kitchen to dry overnight with the coke stove banked up with damp nutty slack?
Ahhh, memories......
