	I used to have them - and used to buy the clothes. It was quite funny as we lived in Mevagissey. I used to go to a shop near the harbour, this was in about August/September, we'd just moved there. I was charged 2/11d for an outfit. Come October, when the holiday season had ended, I went to buy another outfit and the lady said 'Do ee live 'ere then?' I said I did 'Oh then yo'me be a local' and after that she only charged me 2/6d!! LOL I have 2 boxes of them in the attic, of various sizes. I loved them so much I bought them for my youngest - whether she wanted them or not!!! maggie

	Gonks to me were like 'Humpty' from 'Playschool'. Trolls were cute but ugly plastic things with lots of hair!! Oh and big feet!! I was buying my Trolls over 42 years ago,

	Yes I remember them as plastic things with coloured hair too but a lot of people called them Gonks as well as Trolls. Maybe it depends on which area you lived
