I just caught the end of the program about Lego on BBC2.

Now back in my day when you bought Lego you got a big bag of bricks, it was quite cheap and you had to use your imagination to build any number of cars, castles, space rockets etc.

Now it seems to be stupidly expensive, you get about 5 parts and you have to make whatever is shown on the box which is usually linked to the latest kids movie.

Am I just turning into a grumpy old woman wearing rose tinted spectacles? Or has the whole idea of Lego changed for the worse?

And is there a pain nastier than treading on a small Lego brick in bare feet?
